Power Sources
Only use the Micron GoBook power sources (AC adapter or batteries)
with the GoBook notebook computer. Trying to use any other power
adapter may damage the GoBook notebook computer.
AC Adapter
The AC adapters supplied with the GoBook notebook
computer will switch voltages automatically when plugged into a 100 to
240 volt AC power source operating at a frequency of 50/60 Hz.
Batteries
Smart Li-Ion Battery 2000 mAh, bay
Optional Smart Li-Ion Battery 7000 mAh, base
Battery status indicator built into the batteries
Recharges in approximately 2 hours (bay), or 4.5 hours (base)
Batteries are warm swappable. They can be changed while the
computer is connected to an AC power source, while in
suspend mode. The computer will charge the battery in the bay
first and then the base battery. It uses them in the reverse
order. That is, the battery in the base is discharged first and
then the bay battery, if both are used.



PC Card (also known as PCMCIA)
TI PCI1250 PCI-to-PC Card controller
Two PC Card slots. The slots will hold two Type I devices, or two Type
II devices, or one Type III device. (A Type III device is so thick that
when inserted into one slot it blocks the other slot.)
Both slots are CardBus compatible
Zoomed Video (ZV) support through either PC Card slot . Two ZV cards
cannot be used at the same time.

Pointing Devices
