3 Getting Started

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

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 servic-

ing. 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.

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

adapters for almost every country.

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.

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.

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 standard.

Most hotels will provide universal outlets to sup-

port 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.

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 rst 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 indi-

cator on the adapter (if available) will light if the power is within accepted ranges.
