6.2. Mains Power
Your Notebook comes with a universal mains adapter for alternating current which
automatically adapts to the available power source. The following values are
supported: AC 100–240 V~/50–60Hz. Observe the safety information concerning
the power supply on pages 12 ff.
The adapter is connected to an AC outlet via a mains cable. The mains adapter DC
cable is connected to the left side of the Notebook (10).
The adapter supplies the Notebook with power and also charges the battery. The
operating lights on the Notebook provide information about the operating mode.
Your battery will also be charged while you work on your Notebook with the mains
adapter connected. The mains adapter also consumes power when the Notebook
is not connected to it. You should therefore always remove the mains adapter plug
from the socket when it is not connected to the Notebook.
CAUTION!
Use only the mains adapter and power cable supplied
.
