3. Plug the other end of the power cord into a 120 volt
electrical wall outlet.
When the adapter is connected to both the computer and
an electrical outlet, the AC power indicator light turns on. This
light is a convenient way to verify that the AC adapter is
providing power to the computer.
Be sure to read ‘Using the Adapter” in Chapter 3 for
information on powering the computer with the AC adapter.

Charging the Battery
The Equity LT contains a rechargeable NiCad (nickel
cadmium) battery pack that powers the computer when you are
not using the AC adapter. Before you can use the computer
the first time, you must charge the battery.
When you plugged in the AC adapter in step 3, it started
charging the battery. This happens whenever the adapter is
connected to the computer and plugged into an electrical
outlet. Let the battery charge for at least five minutes before
you start using the computer for the first time and leave the
AC adapter connected while you use the computer.
Be sure to read “Using the Battery” in Chapter 3 for
information on using the computer with the battery. It explains
how to fully charge the battery; you should do this as soon as
possible with your new computer.

You can easily connect a printer or plotter that has either type
