AC adaptor The universal AC adaptor provides power to the system
and recharges the batteries when they are low. It comes
with a detachable power cord.
Because it is universal, it can receive a range of AC
voltage from 100 to 240 volts; however, the output current
varies among different models. Using the wrong model
can damage your computer. See the AC adaptor section in
Chapter 2, The Grand Tour.
