Connecting the AC adapter
You can run your notebook using an AC adapter or the notebook battery. The 
battery was shipped to you partially charged. You should use the AC adapter 
right away to fully charge the battery. Allow 24 hours for the battery to fully 
charge.
To connect the AC adapter:
1
Connect the power cord to the AC adapter.
Important
If the battery is not fully charged before you use your 
notebook on battery power for the first time, the battery life 
may be much shorter than you expect. If the battery life 
seems short even after being charged for 24 hours, the 
battery may need to be recalibrated. For more information, 
see “Recalibrating the battery” on page 108.
Warning
Replace the power cord if it becomes damaged. The 
replacement cord must be of the same type and voltage 
rating as the original cord or the notebook may be 
damaged.
