AC Adapter


1. DC-out

Connector

The DC-out connector docks to the power jack (DC-in) on the
computer.

2. Adapter

The adapter converts alternating current into constant DC voltage
for the computer.


3. AC

Plug

The AC plug plugs to the AC wall outlet.


Warning:

Make sure you are using a standard 3-prong AC wall socket with a

ground pin. If not, you may feel a slight tingling sensation on any of the computer’s

metal parts such as the I/O ports. This is caused by leakage current when the AC

adapter is not properly grounded (via the ground pin). However, the amount of

leakage current is within the safety regulation and is not harmful to human body.
