Charging the Battery
1 Remove the battery from the computer and attach the battery to the
battery charger (see "Removing the Battery From the Computer" and
"Attaching the Battery to the Battery Charger").
2 Connect the AC adapter to the AC adapter connector on the battery
charger and to the electrical outlet.
CAUTION: If you are using a multiple-outlet power strip, use
caution when you plug the AC adapter power cable into 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 computer, as well as risk of electric
shock and/or fire. Ensure that you insert the ground prong of the
power plug into the mating ground contact of the power strip.
