The Power Sources
The computer can be powered by either an AC/DC adapter or a battery pack.

AC/DC Adapter

Use only the AC/DC adapter that comes with your computer. The wrong type
of AC/DC adapter will damage the computer and its components.
1. Attach the AC/DC adapter to the DC-in jack at the rear of the computer.
2. Plug the AC power cord into an outlet, and then connect the AC power cord
to the AC/DC adapter (see sidebar if you are using the optional Port
Replicator).
3. Raise the lid/LCD to a comfortable viewing angle.
4. Press the power button to turn "On".

The battery allows you to use your computer while you are on the road or
when an electrical outlet is unavailable. Battery life varies depending on the
applications and the configuration you're using. To increase battery life, let
