Handling the AC adaptor
●
Problems such as sudden voltage drops may arise during
periods of thunder and lightning. Since this could adversely
affect your computer, an uninterruptible power source (UPS)

disconnect the AC cord from your electrical outlet. Power is
consumed simply by having the AC adaptor plugged into an
electrical outlet.
