Connecting to a power source

3 Connect the power cord/cable to a live electrical outlet.
The AC power light on the indicator panel glows green.
Never attempt to connect or disconnect a power plug with wet 
hands. Failure to follow this instruction could result in an 
electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.
The computer’s main battery light gives you an indication 
of the main battery’s current charge:
❖ Glows amber while the main battery is being charged 
(AC adaptor connected)
❖ Glows green when the main battery is fully charged
❖ Is unlit when the main battery has discharged, the 
battery is not charging, or the AC adaptor is not 
plugged into the computer or AC outlet
❖ Flashes amber when the main battery charge is low 
and it is time to recharge the main battery or plug in 
the AC adaptor
If the AC power light flashes amber during charging, 
either the main battery is malfunctioning, or it is not 
receiving correct input from the AC power supply.
Disconnect the AC power cord/cable and remove the 
main battery pack. See “Changing the main battery” on 
page 128 for information on replacing the main battery.
