AC Adapter
CAUTION:
The AC adapter is designed for use with your computer only. Connecting the AC adapter to
another device can damage the adapter.
The AC power cord supplied with your computer is for use in the country where you
purchased your computer. If you plan to go overseas with the computer, consult your dealer
for the appropriate power cord.
When you disconnect the AC adapter, disconnect from the electrical outlet first and then from
the computer. A reverse procedure may damage the AC adapter or computer.
When unplugging the connector, always hold the plug head. Never pull on the cord.
The AC adapter serves as a converter from AC (Alternating Current) to DC
(Direct Current) power because your computer runs on DC power, but an
electrical outlet usually provides AC power. It also charges the battery pack
when connected to AC power.
The adapter operates on any voltage in the range of 100~240 V AC.
