Plugging In the Computer
Plugging in the power adapter provides AC power to the computer and recharges the
computer’s battery. You should plug in the power adapter in case the battery has been
drained during shipping or storage.
1
Plug the AC plug on the power adapter into a wall outlet. If you want to extend the reach of
your power adapter, remove the AC plug from the adapter and attach one end of the
included AC cord to the adapter and the other end into a wall outlet. Use only the AC cord
that came with your power adapter.
2
Plug the power adapter plug into the power adapter port (marked with the icon
¯
) on the
left side of the computer. Make sure to push the power plug snugly into the power adapter
port to ensure it is engaged and power is flowing to the computer.
If connected properly, light appears on the power adapter plug. An amber light indicates that
the battery is being charged. A green light indicates that the battery is fully charged. You can
monitor the battery level using the battery icon in the menu bar, or by checking the charge
lights on the bottom of the battery (see page 50).
You can wrap the extra adapter cable around the clips that open out from the power adapter.
When disconnecting the power adapter from an outlet, pull the plug, not the cord.
Important
For optimal performance, use only the power adapter that came with your
computer.
