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 USstandard 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.
With the AC power cord connected to the AC-DC converter, connect
the AC power cord to an AC outlet (preferably with surge-protection)
and then connect the DC plug to the Notebook PC. Connecting the
AC-DC adapter to the AC outlet first allows you to test the AC outlet’
s power and the AC-DC converter itself for compatibility problems
before connecting the DC power to the Notebook PC. The power
indicator on the adapter (if available) will light if the power is within
accepted ranges.
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.
This Eee PC may come with either a two or three-prong plug
depending on territory to fit your wall outlet. If a three-prong
plug is provided, you must use a grounded AC outlet or use a
properly grounded adapter to ensure safe operation of the Eee
PC.

Chapter 3: Getting Started
Damage may occur if you use a different adapter to power the
Eee PC or use the Eee PC’s adapter to power other electrical
devices. If there is smoke, burning scent, or extreme heat coming
from the AC-DC adapter, seek servicing. Seek servicing if you
suspect a faulty AC-DC adapter. You may damage both your
battery pack(s) and the Eee PC with a faulty AC-DC adapter.
Using Battery Power
The Eee PC is designed to work with a removable battery pack. The
battery pack consists of a set of battery cells housed together. A fully
charged pack will provide several hours of battery life. Additional
battery packs are optional and can be purchased separately through
an Eee PC retailer. Remember to fully charge the battery before first
use and whenever it is depleted to prolong battery life.
Installing and Removing the Battery Pack
Your Eee PC may not have its battery pack installed. If not, use the
following procedures to install the battery pack.
Never attempt to remove the battery
pack while the Eee PC is
turned ON, as this may result in the loss of working data.
To install the battery pack:
To remove the battery pack:
Only use battery packs and power adapters supplied with this
Eee PC or specifically approved by the manufacturer or retailer
for use with this model or else damage may occur to the Eee PC.

Battery Care
The Eee PC’s battery pack, like all rechargeable batteries, has a limit
on the number times it can be recharged. The battery pack’s useful
life will depend on your environment temperature, humidity, and
how your Eee PC is used. It is ideal that the battery be used in a
temperature range between 5˚C and 35˚C (41˚F and 95˚F). You
must also take into account that the Eee PC’s internal temperature
is higher than the outside temperature. Any temperatures above or
below this range will shorten the life of the battery. But in any case,
the battery pack’s usage time will eventually decrease and a new
battery pack must be purchased from an authorized dealer for this
Eee PC. Because batteries also have a shelf life, it is not recommended
to buy extras for storing.
For safety reasons, DO NOT throw the battery in
fire, DO NOT short circuit the contacts, and DO NOT
disassemble the battery. If there is any abnormal
operation or damage to the battery pack caused
by impact, turn OFF the Eee PC and contact an
authorized service center.
