User’s Guide
Lind Rugged AC Power Adapter
This guide provides information on using Lind ruggedized AC
adapters. We strongly recommend that you read this guide before
using the AC adapter even if you are already familiar with mobile
devices and their power sources.
This high-quality adapter should provide years of reliable perfor-
mance. The ruggedized AC adapter provides several advantages
when using your electronic device.
• Rugged construction allows use of the adapter in tough
operating environments.
• Sealed and potted to resist moisture and high humidity.
• Extend the life of the battery by using AC power when
possible in mobile devices.
• Replaceable input and output cables.
• Operation over wide temperature range.
• Short circuit protection, fused input (non-replaceable).
• Output overvoltage and overcurrent protection.
*Please read the precautions noted in this manual.

Caution
When using the Lind ruggedized AC adapter, follow the precautions below.
• When using the AC adapter use a power cord conforming to local safety
standards.
• The rated input voltage is between 90 VAC and 264 VAC. The input
voltage need not be changed with a transformer or the like.
• Never attempt to disassemble or modify the AC adapter.
• In the event of failure, contact a Lind service representative.
• Never use a multi-plug adapter to plug multiple power plugs in the
same outlet. If it is used, a short circuit or electric shock may result.
• The metal case of the adapter can get quite warm during normal use,
particularly when operating in high ambient temperatures. Use caution
when handling and mounting the adapter. Do not cover or restrict airflow
around adapter in any manner. Excessive adapter temperature may result.
• Do not damage, stretch, or excessively bend the power cord. A fire or
electric shock may result.
• If you detect smoke or unusual smell, turn the computer off and unplug
the power plug immediately. Contact a Lind service representative.
• When unplugging the power plug, grasp the plug, not the cord. Pulling
the cord forcibly can damage the cord and consequently cause a fire or
electric shock.
• Never attempt to plug or unplug the power plug or the connector of the
AC adapter when your hands are wet. An electric shock may result.
Troubleshooting
If the AC adapter is not supplying power to your computer, check the
following:
• Ensure that power is supplied to your AC wall outlet.
• Ensure that the AC power cord is firmly plugged into the AC adapter
and the AC wall outlet. Ensure that the green “Output Present” LED is on.
• Ensure that the DC power cord is firmly seated in the DC input
connector of the laptop and that the snap-in connector is firmly seated
in the AC adapter.
For service, Contact:
Lind Electronics, Inc. #800-659-5956 or #952-927-6303
To connect the AC adapter to your system: (Reference: Figure 1)
1. Firmly plug the snap-in connector of the DC output cable into AC adapter
output jack.
2. Plug the connector of the DC output cable into the mating DC input
connector on the electronic device.
3. Plug the AC power cord into the AC adapter.
4. Plug the outlet end of the AC power cord into your AC wall outlet.
5. Confirm that the green “Output Present” LED is on and that the
AC adapter is now supplying power to the device.
This connection sequence may be altered without an effect on operation.
You can now use your system with external power supplied by the AC adapter.
