Be sure the AC adapter is connected until completing Step 6 on page 7.

Handling the AC adapter

Do not twist or pull the AC power cord forcefully. Doing so may damage the connections.

Use only the specified AC adapter (factory control number: CF-AA1526) with your computer. Using an AC adapter other than the one supplied might damage the battery and/or the computer.

When the DC plug is not connected to the computer, disconnect the AC cord from your AC wall outlet as well.

Problems such as sudden voltage drops/surges may arise during periods of thun- der and lightning. Since this could adversely affect your computer, an uninterruptible power source (UPS) is highly recommended.
