Connecting the AC Adapter

Connect the AC adapter to the computer and then plug it into a wall outlet or surge protector.

CAUTION: The AC adapter works with electrical outlets worldwide. However, power connectors and power strips vary among countries. Using an incompatible cable or improperly connecting the cable to a power strip or electrical outlet may cause fire or equipment damage.

NOTICE: When you disconnect the AC adapter cable from the computer, grasp the connector, not the cable itself, and pull firmly, but gently to help prevent damage to the cable.

NOTE: Connect the power cord to the adapter firmly and ensure that the light on the adapter is on when you turn on power.
