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 Indian-
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
traveller 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 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 power LED on the adapter
lights up if the power is within accepted ranges.
