Power Sources
The notebook is designed to operate with one of the following power sources:
•
AC power from a wall outlet
•
one or two Lithium-ion battery packs
Use AC power whenever possible, relying on the battery pack only when AC power
is unavailable.
Using AC Power
An AC adapter is built into the notebook, to provide power for operation and to
charge the batteries when the AC cord is connected to a wall outlet. The AC input
voltage can range anywhere from 100 to 240 volts, making it suitable for use
virtually anywhere in the world with the appropriate plug adapter. The battery pack
automatically recharges while your notebook is connected to AC. If the notebook is
not powered on, total recharge time for a completely discharged battery is
approximately three hours (or five hours for two packs).
The status indicator LEDs above the keyboard indicate the state of the built-in AC
adapter, as described in the previous section.
The AC power cord provided with the notebook is appropriate for the
voltage of your local area. If you attempt to connect the notebook a wall
outlet other than your local area, check the voltage of the outlet and use
an AC power cord appropriate for the outlet.
