The 7805 "in the box" is the part number for a very common voltage
regulator.  It will basically take your input voltage from your wall
transformer (Wall Wart) and convert it to a steady 5 volt.  Pick up a
basic electronics text book at your library and you are sure to find a
very detailed explanation of the 7805 and also some usefull circuits.
