The AC Adapter
The AC adapter converts the alternating electrical current from your wall outlet to the direct
current the computer uses. There is a cord permanently attached to the adapter, with a connector
jack that plugs into the computer. A power cord comes with the adapter. One end is designed to
plug into the adapter; the other is a standard plug for your wall outlet or power strip. We
recommend using a surge protector. The AC adapter is not designed to protect the computer from
power spikes and surges. Use a surge protector to protect against power fluctuations.
You can use the AC adapter with any AC source from 90 to 260 Volts and 50 to 60 Hz. It is an
auto-switching adapter; with the proper plug adapters you can use it anywhere that the electricity
falls within these electrical specifications.
