About the AC Adapter

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

l 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 designed for use in that country.

l If the computer is connected to a Dell docking device, you can run the computer on AC power by connecting the AC adapter to the docking

device.
