Basic Operating, Maintenance, and
Travel Guidelines
This chapter contains basic guidelines for operating and caring for
the computer and for traveling with or shipping the computer.
Power Sources
You can power the computer by connecting it to an external power
source or by using battery packs. Refer to Chapter 4, "Using
Battery Packs," for information on battery packs.
Connecting to an External Power Source
Connect to an external power source to charge battery packs in the
computer and/or to ensure that critically important work is not
interrupted by a low-battery condition.
An external power source can be the AC Adapter, the optional
Automobile Adapter, or one of the expansion bases. Refer to
Chapter 5, "Connecting External Desktop Equipment," for
information on using the computer with the expansion bases.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to power the computer with a converter
kit that is intended for use with appliances.
