Using Your Notebook

Plugging and Unplugging AC Power

Do’s

Unplug the AC adapter from the electrical outlet when you want to disconnect AC power from your Notebook.

When unplugging from

the electrical outlet, grasp the cord by the plug.

Don’ts

Do not leave the AC adapter plugged into the electrical outlet when it is not connected to your Notebook.

Do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange them so that no one accidentally steps on or trips over them.

Surge Protectors

Using surge protectors and line conditioners can substantially reduce the risk of electrical shock and aid in protecting your Notebook from power-source problems.

During a power surge, the voltage level of electricity coming into your Notebook can increase and cause data loss or system damage. Protect your Notebook and peripherals by connecting them to a surge suppressor, which absorbs voltage surges and prevents them from reaching your Notebook.
