Power System

Using the AC Power
The OTVOC VOCBook 15 Notebook PC power is comprised of 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 VOCBook 15 Notebook. Your Notebook PC comes with a universal AC-DC adapter. That means that you may connect the power cord to any 100V-120V as well as 220V-240V outlets without setting switches or using power converters. Different countries may require that an adapter be used 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 when bringing power adapters to another country.

Warning: DO NOT connect the AC power cord to an AC outlet prior to connecting the DC plug to the Notebook PC. Doing so may damage the AC-DC adapter.

IMPORTANT! Damage may occur if you use a different adapter to power the VOCBook 15 Notebook PC or use the VOCBook 15 Notebook PC’s adapter to power other electrical devices. If there is smoke, a burning scent, or extreme heat coming from the AC-DC adapter, seek servicing. Seek to service if you suspect a faulty AC-DC adapter. You may damage both your battery pack(s) and the VOCBook 15 Notebook PC with a faulty AC-DC adapter.

WARNING! 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.
