FAQ for Rocketfish Adapters

What tip should I use for my netbook?

referencing the Tip Compatibility Guide included with the

www.rocketfishproducts.com. Locate your netbook

manufacturer and model and the correct tip will be listed.

RF-NBAC-RF-NBAC-CAM 13-0460_MAN_V5_ENG.fm Page 6 Wednesday, May 15, 2013 7:16 AM

If you cannot find your specific netbook model please contact

Rocketfish customer service at (800) 620-2790 for additional

assistance.

How do I connect the tip to the adapter cable?

Once you have selected the correct tip for your netbook,

connect the tip to the output cable, making sure that the ridge

on the inside of the tip aligns properly with the groove in the

output 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.

What other netbooks can I use this adapter for?

The Rocketfish Universal Power Adapter is compatible with

thousands of netbook models. A complete list of compatible

netbooks can be viewed through the Tip Wizard at

www.rocketfishproducts.com.

Why doesn't the tip fit into my netbook?

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

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

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

netbook. If the tip will not fit into the jack do not force the tip.

Confirm you have selected the correct tip for your netbook by

referencing the included Tip Compatibility Guide or visiting the

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

additional assistance please contact Rocketfish customer

service at (800) 620-2790.

Will using an incorrect tip damage my netbook?

The tips are designed to be used with specific netbooks and so

you should only use the tip that is designated specifically for

your netbook. The correct tip can be identified by using the

online Tip Wizard at www.rocketfishproducts.com or by locating

your specific netbook in the included Tip Compatibility Guide.

RF-NBAC-RF-NBAC-CAM 13-0460_MAN_V5_ENG.fm Page 7 Wednesday, May 15, 2013 7:16 AM

The use of an incorrect tip may cause performance issues,

including the inability to charge the internal battery or power

the netbook, or the display of an error message on the netbook

screen. It is also possible that the use of an incorrect tip could

damage your netbook. For these reasons, it is necessary to use

the tip designed specifically for your device.

My netbook is more than 40 watts (for example

75 watts, 90 watts). Will this adapter damage my

netbook?

This is a 40 watt adapter and it should NOT be used with

netbooks that require more than 40 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.

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

does it waste energy?

This Rocketfish adapter meets EnergyStar and CEC IV 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 0.5 watts of power.
