Warning
To reduce the risk of electrical

Compaq adapter that came
with your Notebook or a
Compaq replacement part.
Do’s
•
Ensure that you can reach the
electrical outlet easily.
•
Unplug the AC adapter from
the electrical outlet when you
want to disconnect AC power

•
When unplugging from the
electrical outlet, grasp the cord by the plug.
Don’ts
•
Do not leave the AC adapter plugged into the electrical outlet
when it is not connected to your Notebook.
•
Do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange
them so that no one accidentally steps on or trips over them.
Surge Protectors
Using surge protectors and line conditioners can substantially
reduce the risk of electrical shock and aid in protecting your
Notebook from power-source problems.
During a power surge, the voltage level of electricity coming
into your Notebook can increase and cause data loss or system
damage. Protect your Notebook and peripherals by connecting
them to a surge suppressor, which absorbs voltage surges and
prevents them from reaching your Notebook.
Caution:

Why Use AC Power When I’ve Got a Battery?
When you’re not on the go, you’ll want to use your Notebook’s
AC adapter to supply power. This ensures that the battery is
always charged.
When your Notebook does not have a charged battery, you
should save your work and turn off your Notebook before
unplugging it from the AC power supply.
Did you know...
When a charged battery is in
your Notebook, you can simply
unplug it from AC power. Your
Notebook automatically
switches to battery power.
Did you know...
Hibernation is a state of
no-power consumption.
When your Notebook enters
this mode, the contents of
the memory are saved to
the hard disk and your
Notebook powers off.
