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 ø) on the back panel of the computer.

You can wind extra cable around the hooks that open out from the power adapter.

Wrap cable around the hooks.

Depending on where you purchased your computer, you may also have received a wall mount plug. You can use this plug instead of the power cord to plug the power adapter directly into an electrical outlet.
