Getting Started
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 HDD 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.
