section, prenez connaissance des consignes de sécurité fournies avec votre ordinateur. Pour en
savoir plus sur les bonnes pratiques, consultez le site

AVERTISSEMENT : L’adaptateur secteur fonctionne avec les prises électriques du monde entier.
Mais les connecteurs et les barrettes d’alimentation varient d’un pays à l’autre. L’utilisation d’un
câble non compatible ou le branchement incorrect du câble sur la multiprise ou sur la prise
électrique risquent de provoquer un incendie ou d’endommager l’équipement.

PRÉCAUTION : Lorsque vous déconnectez de l’ordinateur le câble de l’adaptateur secteur,
saisissez le connecteur et non le câble lui-même, puis tirez fermement mais avec précaution pour
éviter d’endommager le câble. Pour enrouler le câble de l’adaptateur secteur, vérifiez que vous
suivez l’angle du connecteur de l’adaptateur pour éviter d’endommager le câble.

REMARQUE : Les périphériques mentionnés ne sont inclus que si vous les avez commandés.

1. Branchez le connecteur de l’adaptateur secteur à l’ordinateur et à la prise électrique.
