The AC adapter included with your computer is designed to operate in 100-240 VAC ranges with a frequency of 50/60 Hz. If you use the international AC adapter in a country other than the one where you purchased your computer, be sure to use the correct plug adapter to fit the electrical outlet. To connect the AC adapter, see the instructions in Chapter 1. After you turn on your computer, the Power indicator light comes on. The Charge light is green if the battery is fully charged; it is orange if the battery is charging normally. See page 3-4 for information on charging the battery. Using the Battery The removable NiMH battery powers the computer when the AC adapter is not connected. The battery provides from 4 to 6 hours of power (color version) or 5 to 7 hours of power (monochrome version) when you use your computer's power management features. The length of time the battery provides power depends on how you use the computer. It consumes more battery power if you use a bright screen display, access the hard disk and diskette drive often, or if you are using a PC card or fax/ modem. To increase the amount of time you can use the computer without the AC adapter, you can keep a supply of additional charged batteries. This allows you to replace a spent battery and continue your work. Caution Use only the NiMH battery (A882291) designed for use with the ActionNote 800 series computers. 3-2 Powering the Computer
