Insert the AC plug of your power adapter into an outlet and the power adapter plug
into the PowerBook power adapter port.
Important:
Make sure the AC plug is fully inserted into the power adapter and the
electrical prongs on your AC plug are in their completely extended position before you
plug the adapter in to the outlet.
To extend the reach of your power adapter, you can attach the AC cord. First, pull up on
the AC plug to remove it from the adapter, and then attach the included AC cord to the
adapter. Insert the other end into a wall outlet. For an illustration, see page 21.
