When you are ready to begin:
1 Plug one end of the power cord into the power adapter and the other end into a three-
hole grounded outlet or power strip.
2 Plug the power adapter cable into the power adapter port (marked with the icon
¯
) on
the back panel of the computer.
You can wind extra cable around the hooks that open out from the power
adapter.
Depending on where you purchased your computer, you may also have
received a wall mount plug. You can use this plug instead of the power cord to
plug the power adapter directly into an electrical outlet.

WARNING
This equipment is intended to be electrically grounded. Your
PowerBook is equipped with a three-wire grounding plug—a plug that
has a third (grounding) pin. This plug will fit only a grounded AC
outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into
the outlet, contact a licensed electrician to replace the outlet with a
properly grounded outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding
plug!
