4.2.8.1 AC Power Adapter
The computer is equipped with a universal AC power adapter that converts AC voltage into DC
voltage (approx. 46 Watts of power) used to operate the notebook and charge the batteries. The
specifications for the AC adapter include:
Input Voltage: 100 to 250 VAC
Input Current: Approximately 1.5 Amps
Input Frequency: 50 to 60 Hz
