Plugging and Unplugging AC Power
Do's
•
Ensure that you can reach
the electrical outlet easily.
•
Unplug the AC adapter
from the electrical outlet
when you want to
disconnect AC power
from your Notebook.
•
To unplug from the electrical outlet, grasp the cord by
the plug.
Don'ts
•
Do not leave the AC adapter plugged into the electrical
outlet when it is not connected to your Notebook.
•
Do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange
them so that no one accidentally steps on or trips
over them.
Surge Protectors
Using surge protectors and line conditioners can substantially
reduce the risk of electrical shock and aid in protecting your
Notebook from power-source problems.
During a power surge, the voltage level of electricity coming
into your Notebook can increase and cause data loss or system
damage. Protect your Notebook and peripherals by connect-
ing them to a surge suppresser, which absorbs voltage surges
and prevents them from reaching your Notebook.
Caution: High voltages can enter your Notebook through the
phone line connected to the modem. To protect your Notebook
during electrical storms, use a telephone line surge protector.
