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 is connected to an AC outlet via a power cable. The adapter‘s DC cable
is connected to the notebook.
The adapter supplies the notebook with power and also 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

wall outlet when it is not connected to the notebook.

with each other.
