Connecting the AC adapter

The AC adapter enables you to power the computer from an

AC outlet and to charge the computer’s batteries. The AC

power light on the computer glows when the device is

plugged in.

Never pull on a power cord/cable to remove a plug from a socket.
Always grasp the plug directly. Failure to follow this instruction may
damage the cord/cable, and/or result in a fire or electric shock,
possibly resulting in serious injury.

When you connect the AC adapter to the computer, always follow the
steps in the exact order as described in the User’s Guide. Connecting
the power cord/cable to a live electrical outlet should be the last step;
otherwise, the adapter DC output plug could hold an electrical
charge and cause an electrical shock or minor bodily injury when
touched. As a general safety precaution, avoid touching any metal
parts.

Always use the Toshiba AC adapter that was provided with your
computer, or use Toshiba recommended alternate models to avoid
any risk of fire or other damage to the computer. Use of an
incompatible AC adapter could cause fire or damage to the computer,
possibly resulting in serious injury.
