AC adapter
The AC adapter converts AC power to DC power and reduces the voltage
supplied to the computer. It can automatically adjust to any voltage from
100 to 240 volts and to a frequency of either 50 or 60 hertz, enabling you to
use the computer in almost any region.
To recharge the battery, simply connect the AC adapter to a power source
and the computer. See Chapter 6 Power and Power-up Modes for details.

■ Depending on the model in question, either a 2-pin or 3-pin
adapter/power lead will be bundled with the computer.
■ Do not use a 3-pin to 2-pin conversion plug.
■ The supplied power cord conforms to safety rules and regulations in
the region the product is bought and should not be used outside of this
region. In order to use the adapter/computer in other regions, you
should please buy a power cord that conforms to the safety rules and
regulations in that particular region.
Always use the TOSHIBA AC adapter that was included with your
computer, or use AC adapters specified by TOSHIBA to avoid any risk of
fire or other damage to the computer. Use of an incompatible AC adapter
could cause fire or damage to the computer possibly resulting in serious
injury. TOSHIBA assumes no liability for any damage caused by use of an
incompatible adapter.
