Getting Started
Connecting to a power source
To use external power or to charge the battery you must attach the
AC adaptor. See “Connecting to a power source” on page 37.
Please handle your computer carefully to avoid scratching or
damaging the surface.
Connecting to a power source
Your computer requires power to operate. Use the power cord/cable
and AC adaptor to connect the computer to a live electrical outlet,
or to charge the computer’s battery.
Never pull on a power cord/cable to remove a plug from a socket.
Always grasp the plug directly. Failure to follow this instruction may
damage the cord/cable, and/or result in a fire or electric shock,
possibly resulting in serious injury.
Always confirm that the power plug (and extension cable plug if
used) has been fully inserted into the socket, to ensure a secure
electrical connection. Failure to do so may result in a fire or electric
shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.
Be careful if you use a multiple connector. An overload on one socket
could cause a fire or electric shock, possibly resulting in serious
injury.
Always use the TOSHIBA AC adaptor that was provided with your
computer and the TOSHIBA Battery Charger (that may have been
provided with your computer), or use AC adaptors and battery
chargers specified by TOSHIBA to avoid any risk of fire or other
damage to the computer. Use of an incompatible AC adaptor or
Battery Charger 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 or charger.
