Providing Power
Your computer can be operated with the AC Adapter, battery pack,
or Car Battery Adapter (available as an option).
AC Adapter
Note:
When the AC Adapter is connected,
and the remaining power of the
installed battery pack is less than a
certain amount, discharging and then
charging of the battery pack starts
automatically.
The AC Adapter is an alternating-current-to-direct-current (ac-to-dc)
converter that supplies power for the computer. The AC Adapter
also charges the battery pack when the battery packs are installed in
the computer. The input rating for the AC Adapter is 100–240 V ac,
50/60 Hz.
DANGER
Do not attempt to open the AC Adapter case. The AC
Adapter is permanently sealed and cannot be repaired.
Warning:
Always use an AC Adapter
certified by IBM in the country
where you will be using the
computer. Operating the
computer with an incorrect AC
Adapter can cause damage to the
battery pack and to the computer.
If you turn on the computer with the battery pack installed, you will
hear a short beep when you connect or disconnect the AC Adapter
from the computer. This short beep means that the power source
has been changed.
When the AC Adapter cable is disconnected from the computer with
a battery pack installed, the LCD brightness decreases slightly to
conserve battery power.
