To extend the reach of your power adapter, you can attach the AC power cord.
First, pull up on the AC plug to remove it from the adapter, and then attach the
included AC power cord to the adapter. Plug the other end into a power outlet.
For an illustration, see page 31.
Step 2: Connect Your Cables
For an Internet connection, connect your MacBook Pro to a DSL modem, cable modem,
external modem, or Ethernet network. If you’re connecting to a wireless network, such
as AirPort Extreme, you don’t need cables.
For information about types of connections, see Appendix C, “Connecting to the
Internet,” on page 113.
Warning:
Make sure the AC plug is fully inserted into the power adapter and the
electrical prongs on your AC plug are in their completely extended position before
you plug the adapter into the power outlet.
