AC Adapter

1. DC-out

Connector

The DC-out connector docks to the power jack (DC-in) on the

computer.

2. LED

Lamp

The LED lamp appears green when the unit is plugged into a

valid AC source.

3. Adapter

The adapter converts alternating current into constant DC

voltage for the computer.

4. AC

Plug

The AC plug plugs to the AC wall outlet.


Warning:

Make sure you are using a standard 3-prong AC wall socket with a

ground pin. If not, you may feel a slight tingling sensation on any of the

computer’s metal parts such as the I/O ports. This is caused by leakage current

when the AC adapter is not properly grounded (via the ground pin). However,

the amount of leakage current is within the safety regulation and is not harmful

to human body.
