Connecting the AC adaptor
Attach the AC adaptor when you need to charge the battery or you want to
operate from AC power. It is also the fastest way to get started, because
the battery pack will need to be charged before you can operate from
battery power.
The AC adaptor can be connected to any power source supplying from 100 to
240 volts and 50 or 60 hertz. For details on using the AC adapter to charge the
battery pack, refer to Chapter 6, Power and Power-Up Modes .
Use of the wrong adaptor could damage your computer. Toshiba assumes
no liability for any damage in such case. The current rating for the
computer is 3.0 amperes.
