Notes on the AC Adapter

❑Your computer operates on 100V-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.

❑When the AC adapter is not used, unplug it from the AC outlet.

❑Use only the AC adapter supplied. Do not use any other AC adapter.
