IMPORTANT! Damage may occur if you use a different adapter to power the Note-
book PC or use the Notebook PC’s adapter to power other electrical devices. If
there is smoke, burning scent, or extreme heat coming from the AC-DC adapter,
seek servicing. Seek servicing if you suspect a faulty AC-DC adapter. You may dam-
age both your battery pack(s) and the Notebook PC with a faulty AC-DC adapter.
This Notebook PC may come with either a two or three-prong plug depending on
territory. If a three-prong plug is provided, you must use a grounded AC outlet or
use a properly grounded adapter to ensure safe operation of the Notebook PC.
WARNING! THE POWER ADAPTER MAY BECOME WARM TO HOT WHEN IN USE.
BE SURE NOT TO COVER THE ADAPTER AND KEEP IT AWAY FROM YOUR BODY.
You can buy travel kits for the Notebook PC that includes power and modem adapt-
ers for almost every country.

Power System
Using AC Power
The Notebook PC power is comprised of two parts, the power adapter and the battery power system.
The power adapter converts AC power from a wall outlet to the DC power required by the Notebook
PC. Your Notebook PC comes with a universal
AC-DC adapter. That means that you may con-
nect the power cord to any 100V-120V as well
as 220V-240V outlets without setting switches or
using power converters. Different countries may
require that an adapter be used to connect the
provided US-standard AC power cord to a differ-
ent standard. Most hotels will provide universal
outlets to support different power cords as well as
voltages. It is always best to ask an experienced
traveler about AC outlet voltages when bringing
power adapters to another country.
Unplug the power adapter or switch off the AC outlet to minimize the power
consumption when the Notebook PC is not in use.
WARNING! DO NOT connect the AC power cord to an AC outlet prior to connecting
the DC plug to the Notebook PC. Doing so may damage the AC-DC adapter.
