Hardware Setup
Step 4: Connect the Notebook to External Power
To connect the notebook to external AC power:
1.Plug the AC adapter cable into the power connector 1. (The power connector is on the rear of the notebook.)
2.Plug the power cord into the AC adapter 2, and then into an AC outlet 3.
When the notebook receives AC power, the battery pack begins to charge and the battery light 4 (on the front of the notebook) is turned on. When the battery pack is fully charged, the battery light is turned off.
It is recommeded that you leave the notebook connected
to external power until the battery pack is fully charged and the battery light is turned off. (A partially charged new battery pack can run the notebook after software setup is complete, but battery charge displays will not be accurate until the new battery pack has been fully charged.)
(Power cords and electrical outlets vary in appearance by region and country.)
