230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East.
■ If you use an extension cable with your AC adapter, ensure that the total
ampere rating of the products plugged in to the extension cable does not
exceed the ampere rating of the extension cable.
■ To remove power from the computer, turn it off, remove the battery, and
disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical outlet.
■ To help avoid the potential hazard of electric shock, do not connect or
disconnect any cables or perform maintenance or reconfiguration of this

hazards such as dirt, dust, food, liquids, temperature extremes, and
overexposure to sunlight.
■ When you move your computer between environments with very different
temperature and/or humidity ranges, condensation may form on or within
the computer. To avoid damaging the computer, allow sufficient time for
the moisture to evaporate before using the computer.
■ When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain relief
loop, not on the cable itself. As you pull out the connector, keep it evenly
aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a
cable make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
When taking the computer from low-temperature conditions into a warmer
environment or from high-temperature conditions into a cooler
environments, allow the computer to acclimate to room temperature before
turning or power.
