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 100 to

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

the battery pack, refer to Chapter 6,

Power and Power-Up Modes

.

Use of the wrong adaptor could damage the computer. Toshiba assumes

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

computer is 4.0 amperes.
