    ˆ Preparation ADJUSTING OUTPUT VOLTAGE Warning: Your adapter provides direct current (DC) voltage. Do not use it with devices that are not specifically identified as re- quiring DC voltage. Do not use it with devices that require AC voltage. Damage to the device could result. Follow these steps to adjust the output voltage.

  • Page 9: Selecting An Adaptaplug

    If the power adapter or computer indicates a voltage range, use the voltage closest to the mid-range. Example: OUT- PUT: 10–16VDC ; set the power supply to 13VDC. Note: The specific notation “VDC” might not be indicated. Instead, the international symbol shown to the right might be used.

  • Page 10: Installing An Adaptaplug

    Adaptaplug is installed correctly. If you have trou- ble installing it, take the device to be powered (with all its acces- sories) and your adapter to your local RadioShack store for assistance. Caution: Install the Adaptaplug before you connect the adapter to an input power source.

  • Page 13: Replacing The Fuse

    • Starting your vehicle. REPLACING THE FUSE If the cigarette-lighter plug’s fuse is broken or blown, replace it with a 5A -inch fast-blow, automotive glass type fuse. To remove the fuse, turn the knurled knob counterclockwise then remove the tip cap. Caution: Do not use a fuse with ratings other than those speci- fied.

  • Page 14: Troubleshooting

    ˆ Troubleshooting Some notebook computers have power supplies in excess of the rating of this adapter (30 watts). In most cases, this higher rating is used to both charge a completely discharged battery and power the computer at the same time. This adapter can be used for such applications, but it is recommended that the com- puter's battery be recharged before using this adapter to oper- ate the computer.

  • Page 15: Case Temperature
