34 About Your Computer
The AC adapter converts AC power to the DC power required by the
computer. You can connect the AC adapter with your computer turned either
on or off. For optimum performance, use only the AC adapter that came with
your computer.
CAUTION: The AC adapter works with electrical outlets worldwide. However,
power connectors and power strips vary among countries. Using an incompatible
cable or improperly connecting the cable to the power strip or electrical outlet
may cause fire or equipment damage. The computer turns on the fan when the
computer gets hot. Fan noise is normal and does not indicate a problem with the
fan or the computer
NOTICE: When you disconnect the AC adapter cable from the computer, grasp the
connector, not the cable itself, and pull firmly but gently to avoid damaging the
cable. When you wrap the AC adapter cable, ensure that you follow the angle of the
connector on the AC adapter to avoid damaging the cable.
