Notes on the AC adapter

Your computer operates on 100-240V AC 50/60 Hz.

Do not share the AC outlet with other power-consuming equipment, such as a copy machine or shredder.

You can purchase a power strip with a surge protector. This device prevents damage to your computer caused by sudden power surges such as those that may occur during an electrical storm.

Do not place heavy objects on the power cord.

To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

Unplug your computer from the wall outlet if you will not be using the computer for a long time.
