ADAPTER

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Targus 120 Watt Universal

AC/DC Notebook Power Adapter. Unlike older adapters, this

adapter’s leading-edge technology powers and charges not

only the latest, high wattage notebook computers, but also

legacy computers. It’s compatible with the following

connections:

•Any 100-120 volt or 200-240 volt AC wall outlet

•12 volt, negative-grounded, DC cigarette lighter

•Airline in-seat power system

NOTE: The compatibility between the adapter and an airline

in-seat power system depends upon airline specifications.

Supplied with the adapter are ChargeSource™-compatible

PowerTips. PowerTips allow you to connect the adapter to

your notebook computer. You can also purchase additional

PowerTips to power and charge other portable devices, such as

handhelds, mobile phones, digital cameras, printers and DVD

players.

NOTE: The type of PowerTips supplied in this package is

determined by the country from which you purchased the

adapter.

Before You Begin

It’s normal for the adapter to become warm to the touch while

you are using it. Avoid placing the adapter in direct sunlight or

next to heat-sensitive materials.

To avoid possible damage when using the adapter with your

notebook computer, make sure that the computer’s batteries

either meet or exceed the original manufacturer’s

specifications.

PowerTips

PowerTips are interchangeable attachments that allow you to

power and charge different models of notebook computers and

other portable devices, using the same adapter.

120 Watt Universal AC/DC Notebook Power Adapter

To use the PowerTips:

1 Using the compatibility chart, located on the back of the

adapter’s packaging box, select the correct PowerTip for

your model notebook computer.

WARNING: Never use a PowerTip that is not compatible with

your device. Doing so may damage the device or cause it to

fail temporarily.

2 Connect the PowerTip to the adapter output cable by

aligning the PowerTip pins to the cable’s receptor and

gently pressing to make a firm connection.

Using the Adapter

To use the adapter with your device, after connecting the

appropriate PowerTip, follow the AC wall socket, In-Auto or

In-Air connection instructions.

AC Wall Socket Connection

Use the AC wall socket connection anywhere a 100-120 volt or

200-240 volt AC power source is available.

1 Connect the PowerTip to the adapter output cable and your

notebook computer, if you haven’t done so already.

2 Connect the AC wall socket input cable to the adapter.

3 Plug the AC connector into a wall outlet or power strip.

When the adapter has power, its status light glows green.

Your device’s battery is now charging.

You can now turn on and use your device.

In-Auto Connection

Use the In-Auto connection in any vehicle with a 12 V DC

cigarette lighter socket, such as a car, truck or boat or an

airplane equipped with this style of in-seat power system.

CAUTION: To prevent power interruption and any detrimental

effects on your device and/or its software, avoid starting your

vehicle’s engine while the adapter is connected to the device.

notebook computer, if you haven’t done so already.

your skin or any flammable material. Allow the lighter to cool

completely before storing it.

In-Air Connection

Use the In-Air connection when traveling with an airline that

provides an in-seat power system.

NOTES: Some airlines, such as American, provide a 12 V DC

cigarette socket instead of a special in-air connection. In this

case, use the In-Auto connection method. See “In-Auto

Connection” on page 5.

The compatibility between the adapter and an airline in-seat

power system depends upon both the airline and the

manufacturer’s power specifications for your device.

notebook computer, if you haven’t done so already.
