Providing Power
You can use your computer almost anywhere: at home, in the office,
or on the road. Different power sources can be used for different
conditions: the AC Adapter, battery pack, or the Port Replicator.
When you have access to an electrical outlet, you can use the AC
Adapter for continuous power. Otherwise, you can use the battery
pack.
AC Adapter
The AC Adapter is an alternating current (ac) to direct current (dc)
converter that supplies power for the computer. The AC Adapter
also charges the battery pack when it is installed in the computer.
Attention:
Always use the 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.
The AC Adapter is permanently
sealed and cannot be repaired.
The input voltage is 100–240 V ac, 50/60 Hz. Refer to the label on
your AC Adapter for the input voltage, and make sure you use the
AC Adapter with the stated input voltage.
