Apple 190 series manual Plugging in the computer

Plugging in the computer

Plugging in the power adapter recharges the computer’s battery. You should plug in the power adapter in case the battery has drained during shipping or storage.

WARNING Use only the power adapter that came with your Macintosh PowerBook or with a Macintosh PowerBook 5300 series computer. Adapters for other electronic devices (including other Macintosh PowerBook models and other portable computers) may look similar, but they may damage your computer.

When you are ready to begin, follow these steps:

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. The power adapter that came with your Macintosh 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!
