When you are ready to begin:

1Plug one end of the power cord into the power adapter and the other end into a three- hole grounded outlet or power strip.

WARNING This equipment is intended to be electrically grounded. Your PowerBook is equipped with a three-wire grounding plug—a plug that has a third (grounding) pin. This plug will fit only a grounded AC outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact a licensed electrician to replace the outlet with a properly grounded outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding plug!

2Plug the power adapter cable into the power adapter port (marked with the icon ¯) on the back panel of the computer.
