Power
Your notebook comes with a universal AC power supply for alternating current
which automatically adapts to the available power source. The following values are
supported: AC 100 – 240 V~ 50/60 Hz. Observe the safety information concerning
the power supply.
The adapter has an on/off switch (optional). When the switch is set to OFF (
0
), no
power is being consumed and no power is being supplied to the notebook.
The adapter supplies the notebook with power in the ON position (

charges the battery. Your battery will also be charged while you work on your
notebook with the AC adapter connected. The AC adapter also consumes power
when the notebook is not connected to it. You should therefore always remove the
AC adapter plug from the wall outlet when it is not connected to the notebook or

0

with each other.
