AC adaptor
The AC adaptor converts AC power to DC power and reduces the voltage supplied
to the Port Replicator and computer. It can automatically adjust to any voltage from
100 to 240 volts and to a frequency of either 50 or 60 hertz, enabling you to use the
computer in almost any country. It supplies five amperes of current.

Connecting the Port Replicator
NOTE: When the Port Replicator is connected to the computer, Do not
use the ports of the computer. In the case using ports both of the com-
puter and the Port Replicator simultaneously, it may harm the computer,
the Port Replicator and/or data contained in those.
To connect the Port Replicator, follow the steps below.
1. Check the distance from the back of the computer to the Port Replicator
connector. If necessary, slide the adjuster forward so that it will be flush
