Setting Up Your Computer

Step 2: Connect AC power

Use only the F4600, F4814, or 0950-4334 AC adapter included with your computer (or other approved adapter that meets the power requirements of the computer).

Do not use a 60-watt, 3.16-amp adapter, such as F1454A or F1781A, and do not use DC adapter accessories F1455A and F2297A.

Using the wrong AC adapter could damage the computer or adapter and may void your warranty (see "Limited Warranty Statement" on page 54).

•Plug the AC adapter into the computer and connect the power cord to the AC adapter, then plug the power cord into a wall outlet. The computer’s battery then starts charging.

When unplugging the power cord, unplug it from the outlet before unplugging it from the AC adapter.

While the battery is charging, you can continue with step 3.
