All users should be sure to carefully read the section Starting up for the first time, which describes the actions to take when you turn on the power for the first time.

Connecting the AC adapter

Attach the AC adapter when you need to charge the battery or you want to operate from AC power. It is also the fastest way to get started, because the battery pack will need to be charged before you can operate from battery power. The AC adapter can be connected to any power source supplying from 100 to 240 volts and 50 or 60 hertz. For details on using the AC adapter to charge the battery pack, refer to Chapter 6, Power and Power-Up Modes.

Use of the wrong adapter could damage your computer. TOSHIBA assumes no liability for any damage in such case. The output rating for the computer is 19 volts DC.
