NOTE: Use only the
90-watt AC adapter that
came with your computer.
The AC adapter converts AC power to the DC power required by the computer. You
can connect the AC adapter with your computer turned either on or off.
CAUTION: The AC adapter works with electrical outlets
worldwide. However, power connectors and power strips vary
among countries. Using an incompatible cable or improperly
connecting the cable to the power strip or electrical outlet may
cause fire or equipment damage.
CAUTION: Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as a
desk top or on the floor, when you use it to run the computer or to
charge the battery. Do not cover the AC adapter with papers or
other items that will reduce cooling; also, do not use the AC
adapter inside a carrying case.
NOTICE: When you disconnect the AC adapter cable from the computer,
grasp the connector, not the cable itself, and pull firmly but gently to avoid
damaging the cable.
