Connecting to a power source
Your computer requires power to operate. Use the power
cord/cable and AC adapter to connect the computer to a live
electrical outlet, or to charge the computer’s battery.
Never pull on a power cord/cable to remove a plug from a
socket. Always grasp the plug directly. Failure to follow this
instruction may damage the cord/cable, and/or result in a fire
or electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.
