Power System
Using AC Power
The Tablet 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 Tablet PC.
Your Tablet 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 follow different AC power cord standards. 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.
With the AC power cord connected to the AC-DC adapter, connect the AC power cord to an AC outlet
(preferably with surge-protection) and then connect the DC plug to the Tablet 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 Tablet PC. The power LED on the adapter
lights up if the power is within accepted ranges.
