Getting Started

NOTE: This Portable Desktop PC may come with either a two or three-prong plug
depending on territory. If a three-prong plug is provided, you must use a grounded AC
outlet or use a properly grounded adapter to ensure safe operation of the Portable
Desktop PC.

Power Connection

Your Portable Desktop PC comes with a universal AC-DC adapter. That means that you may connect
the power cord to any 110V-120V as well as 220V-240V outlets without setting switches or using
power converters. Different countries may require that an adapter be used to connect the provided US-
standard AC power cord to a different standard. Most hotels will provide universal outlets to support
different power cords as well as voltages. It is always best to ask an experienced traveler about AC
outlet voltages when bringing power adapters to another country.

With the AC power cord connected to the AC-DC converter, connect the AC power cord to an AC outlet
(preferably with surge-protection) and then connect the DC plug to the Portable Desktop PC. Connecting
the AC-DC adapter to the AC outlet first allows you to test the AC outlet’s power and the AC-DC
converter itself for compatibility problems before connecting the DC power to the Portable Desktop
PC. The green power LED on the adapter lights up if the power is within accepted ranges.

TIP: You can buy travel kits for the Portable Desktop PC that includes power and
modem adapters for almost every country.

WARNING! Damage may occur if you use a different adapter to power the Portable
Desktop PC or use the Portable Desktop PC’s adapter to power other electrical devices.
If there is smoke, burning scent, or extreme heat coming from the AC-DC adapter,
seek servicing. Seek servicing if you suspect a faulty AC-DC adapter. You may damage
both your optional battery bank and the Portable Desktop PC with a faulty AC-DC
adapter.
