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.

Tip:

You can buy travel kits for the Notebook PC that includes power and modem adapters for almost every country.

With the AC power cord connected to the AC-DC converter, connect the AC power cord to an AC outlet

(preferably with surge-protection) and then connect the DC plug to the Notebook PC. Connecting the AC-DC

adapter to the AC outlet first allows you to test the AC outlet's power and the AC-DC converter itself for

compatibility problems before connecting the DC power to the Notebook PC. The green power LED on the

adapter lights up if the power is within accepted ranges.
