Power System

Using AC Power

The Eee PC power comprises two parts, the power adapter and
the battery power system. The power adapter converts AC power
from a wall outlet to the DC power required by the Eee PC. Your Eee
PC comes with a universal AC-DC adapter for connection to any
100V-120V as well as 220V-240V outlets without setting switches or
using power converters. Different countries may require an adapter
to connect the provided US-standard AC power cord to a different
standard. Most hotels will provide universal outlets to support
different power cords as well as
voltages. It is always best to ask
an experienced traveler about
AC outlet voltages before
travelling.
