AC and Car Adapter

CAUTION:

The AC and car adapter is designed for use with your computer only. Connecting the AC adapter to another device can damage the adapter.

The AC power cord supplied with your computer is for use in the country where you purchased your computer. If you plan to go overseas with the computer, consult your dealer for the appropriate power cord.

When you disconnect the AC adapter, disconnect from the electrical outlet first and then from the computer. A reverse procedure may damage the AC adapter or computer.

When unplugging the connector, always hold the plug head. Never pull on the cord.

The AC adapter serves as a converter from AC (Alternating Current) to DC (Direct Current) power because your computer runs on DC power, but an electrical outlet usually provides AC power. It also charges the battery pack when connected to AC power. The AC adapter operates on any voltage in the range of 100 ~ 240 V AC.

The car adapter serves as a converter from car battery to DC power. The cigarette lighter port of the car usually provides DC power. It also charges the battery pack when connected. The car adapter operates on any voltage in the range of 10.7 ~ 32 V DC.

NOTE: The battery pack cannot be charged when the input power of car adapter falls below 11.5 V DC.
