CHAPTER 7: POWER OPTIONS SX/DX
The 486SX/DX-WinBook features the ability to run on AC power or the rechargeable internal battery for
maximum convenience when at home or in the office or out and about with no access to a power supply.
To maximize the efficiency of battery usage the 486SX/DX-WinBook also comes with a number of
power conservation features, some of which can be tailored to your particular requirements.
USING THE AC ADAPTER/CHARGER SX/DX
When you have access to AC power you should normally use the AC adapter provided with your
486SX/DX-WinBook in order to save the battery for use when power is not available. The supplied AC
adapter can be plugged into any power source from 90 volts to 240 volts since it is auto-adjustable.
When you turn on your system, as long as the AC power adapter is connected, power will be derived
from this power supply and the battery will remain unused.
If the main power is accidentally cut off, or the cable is unplugged either from the 486SX/DX-WinBook
or from the AC power outlet, the system will automatically switch to battery use with no break in
operation. Thus, the on-board battery provides an Uninterruptible Power Supply (U.P.S.) function during
AC power operations.[SX/DX 7-1]
