Thank you for purchasing a Rocketfish universal laptop power

adapter. This adapter plugs into any AC power outlet anywhere

cable connector. Additionally, the pins on the inside of the tip

should be in line with the holes in the output cable. The tip

should be pushed firmly onto the cable until the tip and cable

meet and there is no gap.

thousands of laptop models. A complete list of compatible

laptops can be viewed through the Tip Wizard at

www.rocketfishproducts.com.

Why doesn't the tip fit into my laptop?

If the tip does not appear to fit into your laptop you may have

selected the incorrect tip for your laptop. The tip should fit

snugly inside the DC input jack on the side or back of your

laptop. If the tip does not fit into the jack, do not force the tip.

Tip Wizard at www.rocketfishproducts.com. If you need

you 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.rocketfishproducts.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.

The label on my Rocketfish adapter says DC OUTPUT:

15-20V but my laptop is only 19V. Will the adapter

damage my laptop?

The 15-20V rating refers to the capability of the adapter and it

signifies that it can safely provide power to laptops with

voltages within this range. After the correct tip has been

selected, the laptop and tip combination will output the

appropriate voltage for your laptop. Please refer to the included

Tip Compatibility Guide or online Tip Wizard at

www.rocketfishproducts.com to find the correct tip for your

laptop.

My laptop is less than 90 watts (e.g. 65 watts). Will this

adapter damage my laptop?

No, using this power adapter will not damage your laptop. This

adapter only supplies as much power as required by the laptop,

up to a maximum of 90 watts.

My laptop is more than 90 watts (e.g. 120 watts). Will

this adapter damage my laptop?

This is a 90 watt adapter and it should NOT be used with laptops

that require more than 90 watts of power.

I notice that the adapter is warm when I use it. Is this a

problem?

During standard operation the adapter body may feel warm,

and this is normal. The adapter should always be placed in a

ventilated area in order to prevent over-heating.

How long is the cord from the wall to the laptop?

The AC input cord is 6 feet (172 cm) and the DC output cord is

3.8 feet (116 cm).

If I leave the adapter plugged in when I'm not using it

does it waste energy?

requirements which means it is an energy-efficient product

designed to conserve power. When the adapter is plugged in

and not being used it draws less than 0.5W of power.
