About the AC Adapter
The AC adapter converts AC power to the DC power required by the computer. The AC adapter kit includes two cables: the AC adapter cable and an AC power cable.
You can connect the AC adapter with your computer either turned on or off. The AC adapter works with AC power sources worldwide. However, power connectors vary among
countries. Before using AC power in a foreign country, you may need to obtain a new power cable designed for use with the electrical outlets in that country.
NOTICE: The AC adapter should be in a ventilated area, such as on a desk top or on the floor, when used to power the computer or charge the battery. Do not
use the AC adapter in a poorly ventilated environment, such as inside a carrying case.
