Power System

Using AC Power

The Notebook PC power is comprised of
two parts, the power adapter and the battery
power system. The power adapter converts
AC power from a wall outlet to the DC power
required by the Notebook PC. Your Notebook
PC comes with a universal AC-DC adapter.
That means that you may connect the power
cord to any 100V-120V as well as 220V-240V
outlets without setting switches or using power
converters. Different countries may require
that an adapter be used to connect the provided
US-standard AC power cord to a different standard. Most hotels will provide universal outlets to
support different power cords as well as voltages. It is always best to ask an experienced traveler about
AC outlet voltages when bringing power adapters to another country.
You can buy travel kits for the Notebook PC that includes power and modem
adapters for almost every country.
WARNING! DO NOT connect the AC power cord to an AC outlet prior to connecting
the DC plug to the Notebook PC. Doing so may damage the AC-DC adapter.
IMPORTANT! Damage may occur if you use a different adapter to power the
Notebook PC or use the Notebook PC's adapter to power other electrical devices. If
there is smoke, burning scent, or extreme heat coming from the AC-DC adapter, seek
servicing. Seek servicing if you suspect a faulty AC-DC adapter. You may damage
both your battery pack(s) and the Notebook PC with a faulty AC-DC adapter.
This Notebook PC may come with either a two or three-prong plug depending on
territory. If a three-prong plug is provided, you must use a grounded AC outlet or
use a properly grounded adapter to ensure safe operation of the Notebook PC.
WARNING! THE POWER ADAPTER MAY BECOME WARM TO HOT WHEN IN USE.
BE SURE NOT TO COVER THE ADAPTER AND KEEP IT AWAY FROM YOUR BODY.
Unplug the power adapter or switch off the AC outlet to minimize the power
consumption when the Notebook PC is not in use.
