Connecting The Ac Adaptor - Toshiba PORTÉGÉ R300 User Manual

Connecting the AC adaptor

Attach the AC adaptor when you need to charge the battery or you want to
operate from AC power. It is also the fastest way to get started, because
the battery pack will need to be charged before you can operate from
battery power.
The AC adaptor can be connected to any power source supplying from 100
to 240 volts and 50 or 60 hertz. For details on using the AC adaptor to
charge the battery pack, refer to Chapter 6,
■
Always use the TOSHIBA AC adaptor that was provided with your
computer and the TOSHIBA Battery Charger (that may have been
provided with your computer), or use AC adaptors and battery chargers
specified by TOSHIBA to avoid any risk of fire or other damage to the
computer. Use of an incompatible AC adaptor or Battery Charger could
cause fire or damage to the computer possibly resulting in serious
injury. TOSHIBA assumes no liability for any damage caused by use of
an incompatible adaptor or Battery Charger.
■
Never plug the AC adaptor or Battery Charger into a power source that
does not correspond to both the voltage and the frequency specified on
the regulatory label of the unit. Failure to do so could result in a fire or
electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.
■
Always use or purchase power cables that comply with the legal
voltage and frequency specifications and requirements in the country
of use. Failure to do so could result in a fire or electric shock, possibly
resulting in serious injury.
■
The supplied power cord conforms to safety rules and regulations in
the region the product is bought and should not be used outside this
region. For use in other regions, please buy power cords that conform
to safety rules and regulations in the particular region.
■
Do not use a 3-pin to 2-pin conversion plug.
■
When you connect the AC adaptor to the computer, always follow the
steps in the exact order as described in the User's Manual. Connecting
the power cable to a live electrical outlet should be the last step
otherwise the adaptor DC output plug could hold an electrical change
and cause an electrical shock or minor bodily injury when touched. As
a general safety precaution, avoid touching any metal parts.
■
Never place your computer or AC adaptor on a wooden surface,
furniture, or any other surface that could be marred by exposure to heat
since the computer base and AC adaptor's surface increase in
temperature during normal use.
■
Always place your computer or AC adaptor on a flat and hard surface
that is resistant to heat damage.
Refer to the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort for
