UltraMobilePC Power System Using AC Power The UltraMobilePC power is comprised of two parts, the power adapter and the battery power system. The power adapter converts AC power from a wall outlet to the DC power required by the UltraMobilePC. Your UltraMobilePC comes with a universal AC-DC adapter. That means that you may connect the power cord to any 100V-120V as well as 220V-240V outlets without setting switches or using power converters. Different countries may require that an adapter be used to connect the provided US-standard AC power cord to a different standard. Most hotels will provide universal outlets to support different power cords as well as voltages. It is always best to ask an experienced traveler about AC outlet voltages when bringing power adapters to another country. TIP: You can buy travel kits for the UltraMobilePC that includes power and modem adapters for almost every country. With the AC power cord connected to the AC-DC converter, connect the AC power cord to an AC outlet (preferably with surge-protection) and then connect the DC plug to the UltraMobilePC. Connecting the AC-DC adapter to the AC outlet first allows you to test the AC outlet's power and the AC-DC converter itself for compatibility problems before connecting the DC power to the UltraMobilePC. The power indicator on the adapter (if available) will light if the power is within accepted ranges. IMPORTANT! Damage may occur if you use a different adapter to power the UltraMobilePC or use the UltraMobilePC's adapter to power other electrical devices. If there is smoke, burning scent, or extreme heat coming from the AC-DC adapter, seek servicing. Seek servicing if you suspect a faulty AC-DC adapter. You may damage both your battery pack(s) and the UltraMobilePC with a faulty AC-DC adapter. NOTE: This UltraMobilePC may come with either a two or three-prong plug depending on territory. If a three-prong plug is provided, you must use a grounded AC outlet or use a properly grounded adapter to ensure safe operation of the UltraMobilePC. WARNING! THE POWER ADAPTER MAY BECOME WARM TO HOT WHEN IN USE. BE SURE NOT TO COVER THE ADAPTER AND KEEP IT AWAY FROM YOUR BODY. 24

UltraMobilePC
With the AC power cord connected to the AC-DC converter, connect the AC power cord to
an AC outlet (preferably with surge-protection) and then connect the DC plug to the Ultra-
MobilePC. Connecting the AC-DC adapter to the AC outlet first allows you to test the AC
outlet’s power and the AC-DC converter itself for compatibility problems before connecting
the DC power to the UltraMobilePC. The power indicator on the adapter (if available) will
light if the power is within accepted ranges.
Power System
Using AC Power
The UltraMobilePC power is comprised of
two parts, the power adapter and the battery
power system. The power adapter converts
AC power from a wall outlet to the DC power
required by the UltraMobilePC. Your Ultra-
MobilePC comes with a universal AC-DC
adapter. That means that you may connect
the power cord to any 100V-120V as well as
220V-240V outlets without setting switches
or using power converters. Different countries
may require that an adapter be used to connect the provided US-standard AC power cord to
a different standard. Most hotels will provide universal outlets to support different power
cords as well as voltages. It is always best to ask an experienced traveler about AC outlet
voltages when bringing power adapters to another country.
TIP: You can buy travel kits for the UltraMobilePC that includes power and modem
adapters for almost every country.
IMPORTANT!
Damage may occur if you use a different adapter to power the UltraMo-
bilePC or use the UltraMobilePC’s adapter to power other electrical devices. If there is
smoke, burning scent, or extreme heat coming from the AC-DC adapter, seek servic-
ing. Seek servicing if you suspect a faulty AC-DC adapter. You may damage both your
battery pack(s) and the UltraMobilePC with a faulty AC-DC adapter.
NOTE: This UltraMobilePC may come with either a two or three-prong plug depending
on territory. If a three-prong plug is provided, you must use a grounded AC outlet or
use a properly grounded adapter to ensure safe operation of the UltraMobilePC.
WARNING! THE POWER ADAPTER MAY BECOME WARM TO HOT WHEN IN USE. BE
SURE NOT TO COVER THE ADAPTER AND KEEP IT AWAY FROM YOUR BODY.
