Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a Rocketfish universal netbook

power adapter. This adapter plugs into any AC power outlet

anywhere in the world, and provides a reliable power source

to run your netbook computer and charge its internal

battery. Rocketfish adapters are made using the highest

the Tip Wizard. This will let you determine the correct tip

number for your netbook.

2Locate the specified tip from the tip bundle provided.

making sure that the pins on the tip are aligned with the

holes in the cable. The ridge on the inside of the tip

RF-NBAC 09-0989_MAN_ENG_V2.fm Page 5 Wednesday, November 11, 2009 4:17 PM

should align with the groove in the output cable

connector. Also make sure that the tip is pushed all the

4Connect the AC cord to the socket on the AC adapter.

5Plug the AC cord into an AC power outlet. The LED on the

adapter turns green indicating that the adapter is

powered and ready.

FAQ for Rocketfish Adapters

What tip should I use for my netbook?

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.

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.

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 0.5W of power.
