CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE
CONNECTING THE AC ADAPTER
A universal AC adapter is provided to supply your computer with
power and also charge the computer’ s battery pack. The adapter’ s
AC input voltage can range anywhere from 100 to 240 volts,
covering the standard voltages available in almost every country.
The power cord for the AC adapter requires a three-hole grounded
AC outlet. To connect the computer to an external power source:
Do not use inferior extension cords as this
may result in damage to your Notebook. The Notebook comes with
its own AC adapter. Do not use a different adapter to power the
computer and other electrical devices.
Whenever possible, keep the AC adapter plugged into the
Notebook and an electrical outlet to recharge the battery.
Never turn off or reset your Notebook while
the hard disk is in use and the CD-ROM status icon is lit; doing so
can result in loss or destruction of your data. Always wait at least 5
seconds after turning off your Notebook before turning it back on;
turning the power on and off in rapid succession can damage the
Notebook’ s electrical circuitry.
