Asus Eee PC 900A/Linux - Manual (Page 24)

3-2 Chapter 3: Getting Started
This Eee PC may come with either a two or three-prong plug
depending on territory to fit your wall outlet. 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 Eee
PC.
THE POWER ADAPTER MAY BECOME WARM TO HOT WHEN IN
USE. BE SURE NOT TO COVER THE ADAPTER AND KEEP IT AWAY
FROM YOUR BODY.
Power System
Using AC Power
The Eee PC power comprises two parts, the power adapter and
the battery power system. The power adapter converts AC power
from a wall outlet to the DC power required by the Eee PC. Your Eee
PC comes with a universal AC-DC adapter for connection to any
100V-120V as well as 220V-240V outlets without setting switches or
using power converters. Different countries may require an adapter
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 before travelling.
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 Eee 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 Eee PC. The power indicator on the adapter (if available)
will light if the power is within accepted ranges.
