Connecting a Power Source
You can use either AC power or a rechargeable battery pack as a power source.
To use the AC adapter
1 Plug the cable attached to the AC adapter into the DC In port on the
computer.
2 Plug one end of the power cord into the AC adapter.
3 Plug the other end of the power cord into an AC outlet.
Notes on the AC adapter
❑ Your computer operates on 100-240V AC 50/60 Hz.
❑ Do not share the AC outlet with other power-consuming equipment, such as
a copy machine or shredder.
❑ You can purchase a power strip with a surge protector. This device prevents
damage to your computer caused by sudden power surges such as those that
may occur during an electrical storm.
❑ Do not place heavy objects on the power cord.
❑ To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
❑ Unplug your computer from the wall outlet if you will not be using the
computer for a long time.
