IBM ThinkPad 310E/310ED: User's Guide
You can use your computer almost anywhere: at home, in the office,
or on the road. Different power sources can be used for different
conditions: the AC Adapter, or the battery pack. When you have
access to an electrical outlet, you can use the AC Adapter for
continuous power. Otherwise, you can use the battery pack.
AC Adapter
The AC Adapter is an alternating current (ac) to direct current (dc)
converter that supplies power for the computer. The AC Adapter
also charges the battery pack when it is installed in the computer.
The input voltage is 100 — 240 V ac, 50/60 Hz. Refer to the label
on your AC Adapter for the input voltage, and make sure you use
the AC Adapter with the stated input voltage.

DANGER
Do not attempt to open the AC Adapter case. The AC Adapter is
permanently sealed and cannot be repaired.
