should only use the tip that is designated specifically for your
laptop. The correct tip can be identified by using the online Tip
Wizard at www.insigniaproducts.com or by locating your specific
laptop in the included Tip Compatibility Guide.
The use of an incorrect tip may cause performance issues,
including the inability to charge the internal battery or power
the laptop, or the display of an error message on the laptop
screen. It is also possible that the use of an incorrect tip could
damage your laptop. For these reasons, it is necessary to use the
tip designed specifically for your laptop.
