Contact your airline for information on using an
airline adapter on your flight.
To use the adapter:
1. Plug the adapter cable into the AC adapter connector on the
computer.
2. Connect the adapter to the cigarette lighter socket or the
portable computer connector on the airplane.
The light on the adapter is green when the adapter is working properly.
The light may be red for a few seconds when you first plug in the
adapter or while you use the adapter. This is normal. If the light
remains red, check to make sure the adapter is connected correctly.
If the adapter is plugged in and the adapter light does not turn on:


Check the adapter connections.


If you are in an automobile, turn on the automobile’s ignition
to supply power to the adapter. In some vehicles, power to the
cigarette lighter socket is always on and you do not need to
turn on the ignition.


If you are in an airplane, ask your flight attendant when power
will be activated to the portable computer connector. The
connector may not be activated at certain times during your
flight.


If the previous procedures do not activate the adapter, you may
need to change the fuse in the adapter. To remove the fuse
from the adapter, unscrew the adapter cap with a pair of pliers
and remove the cap. Replace the fuse with an 8 amp fuse. In an
automobile, you may need to replace the fuse in the cigarette
lighter socket.
When you connect the adapter to the cigarette lighter or the airplane
connector, the battery starts charging immediately.
To prevent loss of data and possible damage to
the computer, unplug the auto/airline adapter
when starting and stopping the automobile
engine.
