Setting up the computer

Step 1: Plug in the power adapter

Plugging in the power adapter recharges the computer’s battery while you work. You should plug it in now in case the battery has drained during shipping and storage.

sWarning: Use only the power adapter that came with your PowerBook computer. Adapters for other electronic devices (including other portable computers) may look similar, but they may damage your computer. s

Your computer’s power adapter comes with a detachable power cord.

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

sWarning: Your PowerBook is equipped with a three-wire grounding plug—a plug that has a third (grounding) pin. This plug is a safety feature, and is meant to fit only a grounded AC outlet. If you are unable to insert the plug into an outlet, contact a licensed electrician to replace the outlet with a properly grounded outlet. s

2.Plug the power adapter cable into the power adapter port on the back panel of the computer.

You can keep extra cable out of the way by winding it around the clips that open out from the power adapter.

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.
