Caution: Like the power adapter that came with your notebook, the Kensington
Universal AC/Car/Air Adapter may get warm to the touch during use. This is
normal. Avoid placing the Kensington Universal AC/Car/Air Adapter in direct
sunlight or next to heat sensitive materials.

Selecting the Proper Tip

Make sure you select the right “Tip” for your notebook by reviewing the
included Kensington Universal AC/Car/Air Adapter Compatibility Chart.

WARNING: Choosing the wrong “Tip” may damage your computer or cause it to
malfunction.

After you have selected the “Tip” that matches your notebook you’re ready
to get connected.

Getting Connected

1. Connect the correct “Tip” to the notebook input cord.

2. Insert the notebook input cord into the Kensington Universal
AC/Car/Air Adapter.

Note: In some vehicles power to the cigarette lighter is always on. These
vehicles may not require the ignition to be turned on.

Caution: It is NOT recommended to have the Kensington Universal AC/Car/Air
Adapter connected to your notebook when starting the engine. The power may
be interrupted causing your system to reset.

To use in an Airplane:

You will need to find the in-flight socket in the airplane. This socket is usually
located in the arm rest of your seat, typically in the same location you use to
plug in headphones. It may also be located under your seat. Please ask a
flight attendant for the exact location of the connector. Once located, plug
the In-Flight Connector into the airline socket.

If the LED on the adapter does not illuminate, check all of the connections.
You may also need to check with a flight attendant to make sure the power
is on in the aircraft. Pilots can turn on and off the power to the seats in
the plane.

To use in a Standard Wall Outlet:

As in your auto or on the plane, once connected, your battery will automati-
cally charge regardless of whether your computer is turned on or off.

Note: We recommend that you use the Kensington Universal AC/Car/Air Adapter
only with notebook batteries that meet or exceed the original manufacturer's
specifications.
