Powering the Computer

You can operate your ActionNote using the AC adapter, optional

automobile adapter, or the removable battery pack. This chapter

describes how to use these power sources, and how to conserve

energy when using the battery pack.

Using the AC Adapter

To conserve the battery, use the AC adapter whenever you have

access to an electrical outlet. When the computer runs on the AC

adapter, it draws power from the adapter instead of using the

battery. Whenever the AC adapter is connected, it recharges the

battery pack.

The AC adapter is ideally suited for travel to foreign countries. It

is designed to operate in 100 to 240 VAC ranges with a frequency

of 50 to 60 Hz. All you need is an appropriate plug for the

electrical socket; see Appendix C for specifications.

Note

See Chapter 1 for instructions on how to connect the AC

adapter to the computer.
