Using your Kensington Notebook AC/DC Power Adapter
Once connected, your battery will automatically charge regardless of whether
your computer is turned on or off.
NOTE: We recommend that you use the Kensington Notebook AC/DC Power
Adapter only with notebook batteries that meet or exceed the original
manufacturer's specifications.
CAUTION: Like the power adapter that came with your notebook, the Kensington
Notebook AC/DC Power Adapter may get warm to the touch during use. This is
normal. Avoid placing the Kensington Notebook AC/DC Power 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
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.
WARNING: Each AC plug only functions correctly with its designated power source.
The US plug (110/120V) will work when connected to a 110/120V AC power source;
the other plug styles are designed for use with particular 220/240V AC power
sources. Using the wrong plug will cause the Kensington Notebook AC/DC Power
Adapter to malfunction and may render the plug unusable.

Air Connection
Use the air connector when travelling with an airline that provides a compatible
in-seat power system.
Some airlines, including American Airlines, provide a 12-volt DC cigarette socket
instead of a special air connection. On these airlines, use the auto connection.
Compatibility between the adapter and an airline in-seat power system
depends upon the airline and the manufacturer’s power specifications for
your device.
1. Remove the auto connector to reveal the air connector: hold the tab at the
base of the connectors to slide the auto connector off.
2. Insert the adapter’s air connector into the in-seat power socket, usually
found on the arm of your seat or under the seat. The adapter’s status light
