Caution: Save your data frequently! If you operate your notebook

computer after removing its internal battery, an interruption in power

might result in an immediate computer shutdown and possible data

loss. Such a power interruption could be caused by accidentally dis-

connecting either end of the power adapter.

Selecting the Adaptaplug

The power adapter comes with five Adaptaplugs and a Compaq cus-

tom plug. The Adaptaplug colors and sizes are:

• Blue (M) — 5.5 × 2.1 mm

• White (N) — 5.5 × 2.5 mm

• Yellow (D) — 5.5 × 3.3 mm

• Green (Q) — 6.3 × 3 mm

• Yellow (T) — 6.6 × 4.3 mm

TROUBLESHOOTING

Some notebook computers have power supplies which exceed the

rating of this power adapter (35 watts). In most cases, this higher

rating is only required to charge a completely discharged battery and

power the computer at the same time. If the power requirement for

your computer exceeds 35 watts, you could possibly charge the bat-

tery with the computer turned off, or power the computer once the

battery is charged. However, you could not do both at the same

time. It is recommended that the computer’s battery be recharged

before using this adapter to operate the computer. To calculate the

power requirement for your computer in watts, multiply the voltage

(volts) times the current (amps). [Watts = volts × amps.] For exam-

ple, if your computer requires 20 volts and is rated at 2 amps, then

the power requirement (or wattage) is 20 × 2, which equals 40 watts.

1. Refer to “Compatible Computers” on Page 3 or examine the

output connector of your computer’s AC adapter and compare it

to the Adaptaplugs supplied with your power adapter.

2. Select the Adaptaplug that resembles the original plug and

insert it into the device to be powered. It is important that the

center contact or pin be the correct size to ensure proper electri-

cal contact. If it is too small or large, additional Adaptaplugs are

available from your RadioShack store.

Caution: Except as noted for notebook computers (see “Compatible

Computers” on Page 3), the power adapter’s 35 watt rating must be

equal to or greater than the requirement of the device to be pow-

ered.

Some computer models require the special Compaq plug.

3. Connect the Adaptaplug to the output socket at the end of the

universal adapter’s cord.

You should remove your computer’s battery only under the following

conditions:

If the tip on the device’s power jack is positive, align + (positive)

marked on the Adaptaplug to TIP marked on the output socket.

If the tip on the device’s power jack is negative, align – (nega-

tive) to TIP. Then insert the Adaptaplug into the device’s power

jack.

• The computer automatically shuts down while you try to power it

with the AC adapter.

• The computer’s rating label states that the computer requires

greater than 35 watts and the computer’s battery is completely

discharged.

Note: If the computer’s battery is fully charged, do not remove it.

Cautions:

• Always turn off the computer before you remove its battery.

plug with TIP marked on the output socket.

• Only remove the battery from your laptop if it is designed to be

easily removed. Some laptops might not operate with the bat-

tery removed.

In the unlikely event of insufficient power, you may encounter slower

battery charging time or automatic shutdown of the power adapter.

In case of automatic shutdown, try one or more of these steps to re-

set the adapter:

Note: If the polarity symbol is not displayed on the device to be

powered, it might appear on an ID plate on the computer power

supply or the original power adapter (see “Compatible Comput-

ers” on Page 3).

• Completely recharge the battery before using the computer.

Use the power adapter to charge the battery, but do not operate

the computer during charging.

4. Insert the Adaptaplug into the device to be powered, then lift the

plug from the recess on the back of the universal adapter and

insert it into an AC outlet. The green indicator lights.

• If the battery is easily removable, remove it from the computer

to eliminate the power requirement for recharging.

Note: The power adapter can be used to charge the battery in

your notebook computer by connecting it to the computer with

the battery installed, and leaving the computer turned off.

If the AC socket is blocked by other plugs or there is not enough

space for the universal adapter, insert the universal adapter into

the supplied 12-inch AC extension cord’s socket, then insert the

cord’s plug into an AC outlet.

Caution: If the indicator turns off while the universal adapter is in

use, the output current is beyond the specification and the overload/

short circuit protection activates. Disconnect the universal adapter

from AC power, then unplug the adapter from the device. Reconnect

the universal adapter to the AC power, but not to the computer. If the

indicator still fails to light, take the adapter to your local RadioShack

store for assistance. If the indicator is on, reconnect the adapter to

your laptop. If the indicator flashes, your laptop is exceeding the

35W rating of the adapter (see “Troubleshooting”).

Note: After making the connections described above, check the uni-

versal adapter’s cord. If it is hanging loosely or if it is positioned so

that it could be damaged, wind the excess cord around the universal

adapter — the large grooves on the top and bottom of the adapter

help hold the cord in place. When the cord is the length you want it

to be, slide the cord clip down the cord until it is next to the part of

the cord you wrapped around the adapter. Then, press the clip over

one piece of the wound cord to hold the cord in place.

The 6–24VDC Universal Notebook AC Power Adapter is compatible

with all notebook computers listed in the following table. The table is

not necessarily comprehensive, though, so your notebook computer

could work with this adapter even though it is not listed. Verify it

against your computer’s original power supply, as manufacturing

changes are sometimes made in mid-production. As long as the

voltage and power requirements of your computer are satisfied by

this Universal Adapter, you can use it to power the computer. Many

sizes of Adaptaplugs are available from your local RadioShack store

if the size you need is not supplied with the adapter.
