Connecting to a Power Source

Connecting the AC Adapter

A universal AC adapter is provided to supply your computer with power and also charge the computer’s battery pack. The adapter’s AC input voltage can range anywhere from 100 to 240 volts, covering the standard voltages available in almost every country.

To connect the computer to an external power source:

WARNING Do not use inferior extension cords as this may result in damage to your Notebook. The Notebook comes with its own AC adapter. Do not use a different adapter to power the computer and other electrical devices.

Whenever possible, keep the AC adapter plugged into the Notebook and an electrical outlet to recharge the battery.

WARNING Never turn off or reset your Notebook while the hard disk is in use and the CD-ROM status icon is lit; doing so can result in loss or destruction of your data. Always wait at least 5 seconds after turning off your Notebook before turning it back on; turning the power on and off in rapid succession can damage the Notebook’s electrical circuitry.
