Dual AC adapters
Your computer uses one adapter for basic performance, but
requires two adapters for full performance with all graphical
abilities.
• Only use the adapters provided with your device, or Acer-
approved adapters to power your device.
• Use the provided support to hold both adapters securely.
Taking care of your AC adapters
Here are some ways to take care of your AC adapters:
• Do not connect the adapters to any other device.
• Do not step on the power cords or place heavy objects on
top of them. Route the power cords and any cables away
from where people walk.
• When unplugging the power cords, do not pull on the cord
itself but pull on the plug.
• The total ampere ratings of the equipment plugged in
should not exceed the ampere rating of the cord if you are
using an extension cord. Also, the total current rating of all
equipment plugged into a single wall outlet should not
exceed the fuse rating.
Cleaning and servicing
When cleaning the computer, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Disconnect the AC adapters.
