Power System
Using AC Power
The Notebook PC power is comprised
of 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 Notebook
PC� Your Notebook PC comes with a
universal AC-DC adapter� That means
that you may connect the power cord to
any 100V-120V as well as 220V-240V
outlets without setting switches or using
power converters� Different countries may
require that an adapter be used 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�
IMPORTANT! Damage may occur if you use a different adapter to power the Notebook
PC or use the Notebook 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 Notebook PC with a faulty AC-DC adapter.
NOTE: This Notebook PC may come with either a two or three-prong plug depending
on territory. 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 Notebook PC DO NOT
remove the grounding prong from the power cable plug. If you use a power extension
cable, use the appropriate type, two-prong or three-prong, to mate with the AC adapter
power cable.
WARNING! 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.
TIP: You can buy travel kits for the Notebook PC that includes power and modem
adapters for almost every country.
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
Notebook 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 Notebook PC� The power indicator on the adapter
(if available) will light if the power is within accepted ranges� If you use a power strip
with your AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere rating of the products plugged in
to the power strip does not exceed the ampere rating of the power strip�

IMPORTANT! When in use plug the AC adapter cord into an AC outlet that is easily
accessible at all times and place the adapter in a ventilated area, such as a desk top or
on the floor. DO NOT place heavy objects on the AC adapter or cover it with papers or
other items that will reduce cooling; also, DO NOT use the AC adapter inside a carrying
case.
System Power Rating: 90W, 19V, 4.74A
