Connecting the AC adaptor
Attach the AC adaptor when you need to charge the battery or you want to 
operate from AC power. It is also the fastest way to get started, because 
the battery pack will need to be charged before you can operate from 
battery power.
The AC adaptor can be connected to any power source supplying from 
100 to 240 volts and 50 or 60 hertz. For details on using the AC adaptor to 
charge the battery pack, refer to Chapter 6, 
.
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.
Never plug the AC adaptor into a power source that does not 
correspond to both the voltage and the frequency specified on the 
regulatory label of the unit. Failure to do so could result in a fire or 
electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.
Always use or purchase power cables that comply with the legal 
voltage and frequency specifications and requirements in the country of 
use. Failure to do so could result in a fire or electric shock, possibly 
resulting in serious injury.
The supplied power cord conforms to safety rules and regulations in 
the region the product is bought and should not be used outside this 
region. For use in other regions, please buy power cords that conform 
to safety rules and regulations in the particular region.
Do not use a 3-pin to 2-pin conversion plug.
When you connect the AC adaptor to the computer, always follow the 
steps in the exact order as described in the User’s Manual. Connecting 
the power cable to a live electrical outlet should be the last step 
otherwise the adaptor DC output plug could hold an electrical charge 
and cause an electrical shock or minor bodily injury when touched. 
As a general safety precaution, avoid touching any metal parts.
Never place your computer or AC adaptor on a wooden surface, 
furniture, or any other surface that could be marred by exposure to heat 
since the computer base and AC adaptor’s surface increase in 
temperature during normal use.
Always place your computer or AC adaptor on a flat and hard surface 
that is resistant to heat damage.
Refer to the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort for 
detailed precautions and handling instructions.
