Power Cord & Adapter Warnings
• See the installation instructions before connecting to the power supply.
• Use only the power cord indicated in this manual.
• Power cord sets for use in other countries must meet the requirements of that country. Use the
appropriate AC adapter and power cord for your locale.
• If you use an extension cord with your AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere rating of the products
plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the ampere rating of the extension cable.
• When using your power cord, make sure to position it around objects so it will not be cut or punctured.
• When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector by its strain relief loop, not on the cable itself. As
you pull out the connector, keep it evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you
connect a cable make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
• Be sure that nothing rests on your AC adapter’s power cable and that the cable is not located where it
can be tripped over or stepped on.
• Use only the AC adapters that are approved for use with this computer. Use of another type of adapter
may risk fire or explosion.
• Before you connect the computer to a power source, ensure that the voltage rating of the AC adapter
matches that of the available power source.
− 115 V/60 Hz in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries such as South
Korea and Taiwan.
− 100 V/50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V/60Hz in western Japan.
− 230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East.
− If you use an extension cable with your AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere rating of the
products plugged in to the extension cable does not exceed the ampere rating of the extension
cable.
• Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as a desktop or on the floor, when you use it to run the
computer or to charge the battery. Do not cover the AC adapter with papers or other items that will
affect its cooling; also, do not use the AC adapter while it is inside a carrying case.
• Disconnect power cords and cables by grasping the connector, not by pulling on the cable itself. As you
pull out the connector, keep it evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Before you connect
a cable, please make sure both connectors are correctly aligned.
• To remove power from the computer, turn it off, remove the battery, and disconnect the AC adapter
from the electrical outlet.
