Selecting a Power Source
The notebook can run on internal power from a charged battery
pack or on external power. External power can be obtained from
an electrical outlet (using the AC Adapter), from a vehicle
cigarette lighter receptacle (using an optional Automobile Power
Adapter/Charger) or from the in-seat power supply available on
some commercial aircraft (using an optional Aircraft Power
Adapter). Select a power source that supports the way you plan to
