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.
