Providing power
The COMET can operate from an AC power adapter or a
rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery.
Using an AC adapter
You may use AC power to operate the COMET. The bat-
tery need not be installed for AC operation.
To power the COMET from AC power:
1. Locate the COMET near an AC outlet.
2. Make sure the outlet is not controlled by a wall switch, which
can cause the notebook to be turned off accidentally.
WARNING:
Use only the supplied AC adapter with the
COMET
.
Do not use an AC adapter designed for use with
another product.
3. Plug the connector from the AC adapter into the AC
Power Jack as shown in Figure 3-2. Then plug the AC
cable plug into a nearby AC outlet.

NOTE
: The AC adapter can be plugged into a 100 - 240-Volt
source at 50 - 60 Hz. The AC adapter will automatically adjust
to the AC input voltage and frequency. The only requirement
is that the AC adapter/charger must correctly fit the AC outlet.
