Chapter 1 getting to know the basics
AC Adapter
1. DC-out
Connector
The DC-out connector docks to the power jack (DC-in) on the
computer.
2. Adapter
The adapter converts alternating current into constant DC
voltage for the computer.
3. AC
Plug
The AC plug plugs to the AC wall outlet.
Warning
：
Make sure you are using a standard 3-prong AC wall socket with a
ground pin. If not, you may feel a slight tingling sensation on any of the
computer’s metal parts such as the I/O ports. This is caused by leakage current
when the AC adapter is not properly grounded ( via the ground pin). However,
the amount of leakage current is within the safety regulation and is not harmful
to human body.
