Plugging and Unplugging AC Power
Do’s
Ensure that you can
reach the electrical
outlet easily.
Unplug the AC adapter
from the electrical outlet
when you want to
disconnect AC power
from your Notebook.
When unplugging from
the electrical outlet, grasp the cord by the plug.
Don’ts
Do not leave the AC adapter plugged into the electrical outlet
when it is not connected to your Notebook.
Do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange
them so that no one accidentally steps on or trips over them.
Surge Protectors
Using surge protectors and line conditioners can substantially
reduce the risk of electrical shock and aid in protecting your
Notebook from power-source problems.
During a power surge, the voltage level of electricity coming into
your Notebook can increase and cause data loss or system
damage. Protect your Notebook and peripherals by connecting
them to a surge suppressor, which absorbs voltage surges and
prevents them from reaching your Notebook.
