Power
• Use only the Dell-provided AC adapter approved for use with this
device. Use of another AC adapter may cause a fire or explosion.
• Before you connect the device to an electrical outlet, check the AC
adapter voltage rating to ensure that the required voltage and
frequency match the available power source.
• To remove the device from all power sources, turn the device off,
remove the battery pack, and disconnect the AC adapter from the
electrical outlet.
• To help prevent electric shock, plug the AC adapter and device
power cables into properly grounded power sources. These power
cables may be equipped with 3-prong plugs to provide an earth
grounding connection. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the
grounding prong from the power cable plug. If you use a power
extension cable, use the appropriate type, 2-prong or 3-prong, to
mate with the AC adapter power cable.
• Be sure that nothing rests on your AC adapter’s power cable and
that the cable is not located where it can be tripped over or stepped
on. If you are using a multiple-outlet power strip, use caution when
plugging the AC adapter’s power cable in to the power strip. Some
power strips may allow you to insert the plug incorrectly. Incorrect
insertion of the power plug could result in permanent damage to
your device, as well as risk of electric shock and/or fire. Ensure that
the ground prong of the power plug is inserted into the mating
ground contact of the power strip.
