The Grand Tour AC adapter The AC adapter converts AC power to DC power and reduces the voltage supplied to the computer. It can automatically adjust to any voltage from 100 to 240 volts and to a frequency of either 50 or 60 hertz, enabling you to use the computer in almost any region. To recharge the battery, simply connect the AC adapter to a power source and the computer. See Chapter 6 Power and Power-up Modes for details. Figure 2-9 The AC adapter (2-pin plug) Figure 2-10 The AC adapter (3-pin plug) ■ Depending on the model in question, either a 2-pin or 3-pin adapter/power lead will be bundled with the computer. ■ Do not use a 3-pin to 2-pin conversion plug. ■ The supplied power cord conforms to safety rules and regulations in the region the product is bought and should not be used outside of this region.
