3 Getting Started

NOTE: This Notebook PC may come with either a two or three-prong plug depending on

territory. 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 Notebook PC.

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 green

power LED on the adapter lights up if the power is within accepted ranges.

Power System

Using AC Power

The Notebook PC power is comprised of 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 Notebook

PC. Your Notebook PC comes with a universal AC-

DC adapter. That means that you may connect the

power cord to any 100V-120V as well as 220V-

240V outlets without setting switches or using

power converters. Different countries may require

that an adapter be used to connect the provided

US-standard AC power cord to a different stan-

dard. 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 when bringing power adapters to

another country.

TIP: You can buy travel kits for the Notebook PC that includes power and modem

adapters for almost every country.

IMPORTANT! Damage may occur if you use a different adapter to power the Note-

book PC or use the Notebook PC’s adapter to power other electrical devices. If there

is smoke, burning scent, or extreme heat coming from the AC-DC adapter, seek ser-

vicing. Seek servicing if you suspect a faulty AC-DC adapter. You may damage both

your battery pack(s) and the Notebook PC with a faulty AC-DC adapter.

WARNING! 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.
