  • Page 7: Selecting The Adaptaplug

    • Review the power or ID plate on the AC power adapter usually used to power the device. Look for the word “OUTPUT” followed by a number and V DC. Example: OUTPUT: 18V DC . If the power adapter or computer indicates a voltage range, use the voltage closest to the mid-range.
  • Page 8 1. Refer to “Compatible Computers” on Page 13 or examine the output connector of your computer’s AC adapter and compare it to the Adaptaplugs supplied with your power adapter. 2.

  • Page 10: Troubleshooting

    caused by accidentally disconnecting either end of the power adapter. ˆ Troubleshooting Some notebook computers have power supplies in excess of the rating of this power adapter (80 watts). In most cases, this higher rating is used to both charge a completely discharged battery and power the computer at the same time.
  • Page 11 Cautions: • Always turn off the computer before you remove its battery. • Be careful when removing your computer’s battery because some laptop computers do not have batteries designed for frequent removal. In the unlikely event of insufficient power, you may encounter slower battery charging time or automatic shutdown of the pow- er adapter.
