Using AC Power

The Notebook PC power is comprised of two parts, the power
adapter and the battery power system. The power adapter converts
AC power from a wall outlet to the DC power required by the
Notebook PC. Your Notebook PC comes with a universal AC-DC
adapter. That means that you may connect the power cord to any
100V-120V as well as 220V-240V outlets without setting switches
or using power converters. Different countries may require that an
adapter be used to connect the provided US-standard AC power
cord to a different standard. Most hotels will provide universal
outlets to support different power cords as well as voltages. It is
always best to ask an experienced traveler about AC outlet voltages
when bringing power adapters to another country.

You can buy travel kits for the Notebook PC that includes power
and modem adapters for almost every country.

WARNING! DO NOT connect the AC power cord to an AC outlet
prior to connecting the DC plug to the Notebook PC. Doing so
may damage the AC-DC adapter.

The actual location of the power input differs by models. Refer to
the previous chapter to locate the LAN port.

IMPORTANT! Damage may occur if you use a different adapter
to power the Notebook PC or use the Notebook PC’s adapter to
power other electrical devices. If there is smoke, burning scent,
or extreme heat coming from the AC-DC adapter, seek servicing.
Seek servicing if you suspect a faulty AC-DC adapter. You may
damage both your battery pack(s) and the Notebook PC with a
faulty AC-DC adapter.

This Notebook PC may come with either a two or three-prong
plug depending on territory. If a three-prong plug is provided,
you must use a grounded AC outlet or use a properly grounded
adapter to ensure safe operation of the Notebook PC.

WARNING! THE POWER ADAPTER MAY BECOME WARM TO HOT
WHEN IN USE. BE SURE NOT TO COVER THE ADAPTER AND KEEP
IT AWAY FROM YOUR BODY.

Unplug the power adapter or switch off the AC outlet to
minimize the power consumption when the Notebook PC is not
in use.
