The AC adapter works with AC power sources worldwide. However, power connectors vary among
countries. Before using AC power in a foreign country, you may need to obtain a new power cable designed
for use in that country.

NOTE: If you are running your computer on AC power with a battery installed, the AC adapter charges
the battery (if needed) and then maintains the battery's charge.
CAUTION: The AC adapter should be in a ventilated area, such as on a desktop or on the floor,
when used to power the computer or charge the battery. Do not use the AC adapter in a poorly
ventilated environment, such as inside a carrying case.
