Using the AC Adapter

The AC adapter converts AC power to the DC power required by the computer. The AC adapter kit includes two cables: the AC adapter cable and an AC power cable.

You can connect the AC adapter with your computer either turned on or off.

The AC adapter works with electrical outlets worldwide. However, power connectors vary among countries. Before you use AC power in a foreign country, you may need to obtain a new power cable adapter designed for use in that country.

If the computer is docked to one of Dell's C/Port Family Advanced Port Replicators (APR) or C/Dock Family Expansion Stations, you can run the computer on AC power by connecting the AC adapter to the C/Port APR or C/Dock Expansion Station.

NOTE: If you are running your computer on AC power with a battery installed, the AC adapter charges the battery (if needed) and then maintains the battery's charge.

NOTICE: To avoid overheating, the AC adapter should be in a ventilated area, such as on a desktop or on the floor, when used to power the computer or charge the battery. Do not use the AC adapter in a poorly ventilated environment, such as inside a carrying case.

Connecting the AC Adapter

To connect the AC adapter, perform the following steps:

Connect the AC adapter power cable to the AC adapter (See Figure 1).

Plug the AC adapter power cable into an electrical outlet.

Plug the AC adapter cable into the AC adapter connector on the computer.

Turning the Computer On

NOTE: If your computer's operating system is "locked up"— that is, it does not respond to commands — press and hold down the power button for at least five seconds to shut it off.
