Getting Started

Connecting the AC adaptor

Attach the AC adaptor when you need to charge the battery or you want to

operate from AC power. It is also the fastest way to get started, because

the battery pack will need to be charged before you can operate from

battery power.
The AC adaptor can be connected to any power source supplying from 100

to 240 volts and 50 or 60 hertz. For details on using the AC adaptor to

charge the battery pack, refer to Chapter 6, Power and Power-Up Modes.

1. Connect the power cord to the AC adaptor.

3. Plug the power cord into a live wall outlet. The Battery and DC IN

indicator on the front of the computer should glow.

Use of the wrong adaptor could damage your computer. TOSHIBA

assumes no liability for any damage in such case. The output rating for the

computer is 15 volts DC.
