Charging Your Batteries

If you intend to use battery power, be sure to fully charge your battery pack and any optional battery packs before going on long trips. Remember that the power adapter charges the battery pack as long as it is plugged into the computer and an AC power source. Be aware that it takes much longer to charge the battery pack when the Eee PC is in use.

Airplane Precautions

Contact your airline if you want to use the Eee PC on the airplane. Most airlines have restrictions for using electronic devices. Most airlines allow electronic use only between and not during takeoffs and landings.

Solid-State disk (SSD) Indicator The solid-state disk drive indicator blinks when data is written to or read from the disk drive. Wireless Indicator This is only applicable on models with built-in wireless LAN. When the built-in wireless LAN is enabled, this indicator lights.

Bottom Side

Power System

Using AC Power
The Eee PC power comprises two parts, the power adapter and the battery power system. The power adapter converts AC power from a wall outlet to the DC power required by the Eee PC. Your Eee PC comes with a universal AC-DC adapter for connection to any 100V-120V as well as 220V-240V outlets without setting switches or using power converters. Different countries may require an adapter to connect the provided US-standard AC power cord to a different standard. Most hotels will provide universal outlets to support different power cords as well as voltages. It is always best to ask an experienced traveler about AC outlet voltages before travelling.
THE POWER ADAPTER MAY BECOME WARM TO HOT WHEN IN USE. BE SURE NOT TO COVER THE ADAPTER AND KEEP IT AWAY FROM YOUR BODY.
Installing the prong-plug adapter Follow the instructions below to install the prong-plug adapter if needed. 1. Incline the prong slightly to a bevel angle.
