Connecting to a Power Source
n Connecting the AC Adapter
A universal AC adapter
is provided to supply your
computer with power and also charge the
computer’ s battery pack
. The adapter’ s AC input
volt
age can range anywhere from 100 to 240 volts,
covering th
e standard voltages available in almost
every country.
The power cord for the AC adapter
requires a
three-
hole grounded AC outlet. To connect the
computer to an external power source:
Ø Plug the AC adapter’ s connector into the DC-
IN connector on the rear of the computer.
Ø Connect the power cord to the AC adapter and
then to a wall outlet.
The best kind of AC power source to connect your Notebook to is a UPS (Uninterruptible
Power Supply). Lacking this, use a power strip with a built-in surge protector. Do not
use inferior extension cords as this may result in damage to your Notebook. The
Notebook comes with its own AC adapter. Do not use a different adapter to power the
computer and other electrical devices.
