Chapter 3: Getting Started

This Eee PC may come with either a two or three-prong plug

depending on territory to ﬁt your wall outlet. 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 Eee

PC.

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.

Power System

Using AC Power

The Eee PC power comprises 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 Eee PC. Your Eee

PC comes with a universal AC-DC adapter for connection to any

100V-120V as well as 220V-240V outlets without setting switches or

using power converters. Different countries may require an adapter

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 before

travelling.

With the AC power cord connected to the AC-DC converter, connect

the AC power cord to an AC outlet (preferably with surge-protection)

and then connect the DC plug to the Notebook PC. Connecting the

AC-DC adapter to the AC outlet ﬁrst allows you to test the AC outlet’

s power and the AC-DC converter itself for compatibility problems

before connecting the DC power to the Notebook PC. The power

indicator on the adapter (if available) will light if the power is within

accepted ranges.
