General: Safety Information
Warning: Failure to read and follow the safety instructions in this User Manual
before using and installing your Adapter could result in serious or fatal injury or
property damage.
• Your Adapter is not a toy. Keep it away from children. Make sure that all
persons who operate your Adapter read and follow this User Manual.
• Your Adapter should only be used with Kensington approved accessories.
Using your Adapter with non-approved accessories may result in serious or
fatal injury or property damage.
• Never use your Adapter with a multi-output cigarette plug splitter or exten-
der cable. These devices can cause your Adapter's cigarette input cable to
become very hot and may result in serious or fatal injury or property damage.
• Never attempt to use your Adapter to power any device that require more
than 70 Watts of peak input power.
• Your Adapter is suitable only for use with mobile electronic digital devices.
Using your Adapter with other electronic devices may result in serious or
fatal injury or property damage.
• To avoid potential property damage, disconnect input power to your Adapter
when it is not in use. Do not leave your Adapter or any device operating
unattended in a vehicle.
• Your Adapter may become hot during operation. To prevent serious or fatal
injury or property damage provide adequate ventilation and refrain from
placing items on or around your Adapter during operation.

• In order to disperse the heat generated while operating your Adapter, keep it
well ventilated. While in use, maintain several inches around the top and
sides of the Adapter. Never operate your Adapter inside a closed or confined
space such as a glove compartment, console, or in the airline seat pocket.
• When operating your Adapter, regularly check that the input and output
power cables are firmly connected. Loose power cables can generate harmful
heat which can damage your Adapter or mobile electronic digital device.
• Avoid operating your Adapter near a heat source, heat vent, or in direct
sunlight. Your Adapter should be used in temperatures between 50–80°F.
• Do not operate your Adapter near flammable materials or any locations
which can accumulate flammable fumes.
• If you are running your vehicle's engine while stationary to power your
mobile electronic digital device that you have connected to your Adapter, do
so only in a well ventilated area, away from other enclosed areas. Automotive
vehicles emit carbon monoxide which can cause death if the vehicle's engine
is running in a garage or enclosed area, or near other enclosed areas.
• Keep your Adapter dry. Do not expose the Adapter to water, rain, or snow; if it
gets wet or is exposed to moisture, wipe it dry immediately.
• If damage or wear to any component of your Adapter is observed, do not use
your Adapter and never attempt to repair it yourself. Return it to the place of
purchase or have it repaired by a qualified technician.
• Do not modify or tamper with your Adapter's external or internal compo-
nents. Doing so could result in serious or fatal injury or property damage.
It may also invalidate your Adapter's warranty.
