Setting up the computer
Step 1: Plug in the power adapter
Plugging in the power adapter recharges the computer’s battery
while you work. You should plug it in now in case the battery has
drained during shipping and storage.
s Warning: Use only the power adapter that came with your
PowerBook computer. Adapters for other electronic devices
(including other portable computers) may look similar, but
they may damage your computer.
s
Your computer’s power adapter comes with a detachable power
cord.
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.
s Warning: Your PowerBook is equipped with a three-wire
grounding plug—a plug that has a third (grounding) pin. This
plug is a safety feature, and is meant to fit only a grounded AC
outlet. If you are unable to insert the plug into an outlet,
contact a licensed electrician to replace the outlet with a
properly grounded outlet.
s
2. Plug the power adapter cable into the power adapter
port on the back panel of the computer.
You can keep extra cable out of the way by winding it around
the clips 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.
