Using your VAIO computer
Connecting a power source
You can use either an AC adapter or a rechargeable battery pack as a power source.
Using the AC adapter
To use the AC adapter, proceed as follows:
1Plug one end of the power cord (1) into the AC adapter.
2Plug the other end of the power cord into an AC outlet (2).
3Plug the cable attached to the AC adapter (3) into the DC In connector (4) on the computer.
!
The shape of the DC In plug varies depending on the AC adapter.
✍
Use your computer only with the supplied AC adapter.
To disconnect your computer completely from mains voltage, unplug the AC adapter.
Make sure that the socket outlet is easily accessible.
If you do not use the AC adapter for a long period of time, put your computer into Hibernate mode. This power saving mode saves you the time of shutting down in the normal way.
