How to Start
2.2 Connecting to the AC Power Source
The AC adapter provides external power source to your N521 series
notebook computer and charges the internal battery pack at the
same time. The AC adapter also has an auto-switching design that
can connect to any 100V AC ~ 240V AC power outlets.
Note: While the AC adapter works with electrical outlets worldwide,
power connectors and power strips vary from country to country.
Ensure you use compatible cable or correctly connect the cable to
the power strip or electrical outlet. Failure to do so may cause fire or
damage to equipment.
To connect the power adapter:
1 Connect the end of the AC power cord to AC-DC converter.
2 Plug the other end of the AC power cord to into an electrical
outlet.
3 Insert the DC power plug.
• Note: Whenever possible, it is advisable to always have the AC
adapter connected to the notebook and the battery pack installed.
This ensures continuous power supply and prevents any data loss
incurring from sudden power breakdown.
• Note: For the power supply of this equipment, an approved power
cord has to be used. Make sure the socket and any extension
cord(s) you use can support the total current load of all the connect-
ed devices. Before cleaning the computer, make sure it is discon-
nected from any external power supplies (i.e. AC adapter).
Maintenance of the AC Adapter:
• Do not connect the adapter to any other device.
• Do not step on the power cord or place heavy objects on top of
it. Carefully route the power cord and any cables away from all
potential traffic.
• When unplugging the power cord, do not pull on the cord itself
but pull on the plug.
• The total ampere rating of the equipment plugged in should
not exceed the ampere rating of the cord if you are using an
extension cord. The total rating of all equipment plugged into a
single wall outlet should not exceed the fuse rating.
• Make sure the voltage of the power source before connect-
ing your notebook computer to the power outlet. If you are
uncertain of your power specifications, consult local dealer or
Electricity Company.
