Using the AC Adapter
When connected to a wall outlet, the AC adapter provides power for operation or
charges the battery. The AC input voltage can range from 100 to 250 volts so that
you could use the notebook with the appropriate plug adapter.
The AC power cord included with the notebook is appropriate for the
voltage of your local area. If you attempt to connect the notebook to a
wall outlet other than in your local area, check the voltage of the outlet
and use an AC power cord appropriate for the outlet.
You can also install the AC adapter into the left-side bay. Refer to the section of
Installing Units into Bays in this chapter for the detail.
