Chapter 2. Using Your Computer
The way you use your computer: for example, how often you access the
hard disk drive and how bright you make the computer display.
Using the AC Adapter
The power to run your computer can come either from the lithium-ion (Li-
ion) battery pack provided with it, or from AC power through the AC
adapter. While you use AC power, the battery charges automatically.
The AC adapter that comes with your computer has two basic components:
1 The transformer pack that converts AC power for use with the computer.
2 The power cord that plugs into the AC outlet and into the transformer pack.
Attention:
Using an improper power cord could cause severe damage to your computer.
To use the AC adapter, do the following. Be sure to take these steps in the
order in which they are given here.
1 Connect the power cord to the transformer pack.
2 Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet.
3 Connect the AC adapter to the AC power adapter jack of the computer.
You can check the status of your battery at any time by looking at the
battery meter at the bottom of your display.
