Connecting the AC adaptor

Connecting the universal AC adaptor

Attach the universal AC adaptor 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 universal AC adaptor can be connected to any power source supplying from 100 to 240 volts and 50 or 60 hertz. For details on using the universal AC adaptor to charge the battery pack, refer to Chapter 6, Power and Power-Up Modes.

CAUTION: Use of the wrong adaptor could damage your computer. TOSHIBA assumes no liability for any damage in such case. The current rating for the computer is 6.0 amperes.
