3-2 Chapter 3: Getting Started
Damage may occur if you use a different adapter to power the
Eee PC or use the Eee 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
battery pack(s) and the Eee PC with a faulty AC-DC adapter.
This Eee PC may come with either a two or three-prong plug
adapter depending on territory to fit your wall outlet.
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.
