The Grand Tour
AC adaptor
The AC adaptor 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 country/region. 
To recharge the battery, simply connect the AC adaptor to a power source and 
the computer. Refer to Chapter 6, 
, for details. 
The AC adaptor
Depending on the model in question, either a 2-pin or 3-pin adaptor/
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. In order to use the adaptor/computer in other regions, you 
should please buy a power cord that conforms to the safety rules and 
regulations in that particular region. 
Always use the TOSHIBA AC adaptor that was included with your 
computer, or use AC adaptors specified by TOSHIBA to avoid any risk of 
fire or other damage to the computer. Use of an incompatible AC adaptor 
could cause fire or damage to the computer possibly resulting in serious 
injury. TOSHIBA assumes no liability for any damage caused by use of an 
incompatible adaptor.
