Power Sources
The notebook can be powered using three different sources, making it a truly portable system.
Operate your notebook just about anywhere using one of the following power sources:
•
the AC adapter connected to an electrical wall outlet (using AC power),
•
the battery pack (Refer to Using the Battery section for details)
•
the optional Auto adapter. (Refer to Optional Accessories section for details)
Read the following sections for specific information about using the power sources.
AC Adapter
Use the AC adapter and power cable that come with your notebook to run your computer on alternating
current (AC) power, or to recharge the battery pack. Use the AC adapter whenever a wall outlet is nearby.
Keep the adapter connected whenever possible. The AC adapter charges the battery when it is connected,
whether the notebook is powered on or off.
Note
Consult your dealer or the local electrical authorities if you are unsure of the type of power cord to use in
your country.
WARNING
Do not attempt to disassemble the AC adapter. The AC adapter has no user-replaceable or serviceable parts
inside. Dangerous voltage in the AC adapter can cause serious personal injury or death. The AC adapter is
intended for use with a computer and must meet EN609050 standards.
