Introduction
Thank you for purchasing an Insignia universal laptop power
adapter. Your adapter plugs into any AC power outlet anywhere in
the world, and provides a reliable power source to run your laptop
computer and charge its internal battery. Insignia adapters are
made using the highest quality components and feature all of the
necessary voltage and heat protection circuits to ensure maximum

Note: You may need a physical adapter plug to plug into some AC power
outlets outside of the United States, but you don’t need a voltage conver ter
anywhere in the world.
Your adapter comes with a variety of numbered tips that connect to
your adapter's output cable and control the output voltage. To make
sure that the correct voltage is delivered to your laptop, always
make sure that you're using the correct tip for your specific laptop
model. Read the following instructions and go to the Tip Wizard at
http://bbyurl.us/tipfinder to find the Tip Wizard to make sure that
you select the correct tip for your laptop.
CAUTION: Your adapter is not compatible with Mac computers or laptops
requiring more than 180 watts of power.
