General Safety Information
Caution! Failure to read and follow the safety information in this
Instruction Guide before using and installing your Adapter could result

• Your Adapter is not a toy. Keep it away from children. Make sure that all persons
who operate your Adapter read and follow this Instruction Guide.
• Your Adapter should be used with accessories approved by Kensington only.
Using your Adapter with non-approved accessories may result in serious or fatal
injury and property damage.
• Never attempt to use your Adapter to power any device that requires more than
90 Watts of continuous power.
• Your Adapter is suitable for use only with notebook computers (K33402/
K33403/K33404) and with other USB-compatible mobile devices (K33402/
K33403). Using your Adapter with other electronic devices may result in serious
or fatal injury and/or property damage.
• To prevent injury or property damage, disconnect input power to your
Adapter when it is not in use. Do not operate or leave your Adapter
unattended while in use.
• Your Adapter may become hot during operation. To prevent serious or fatal
injury and/or property damage, provide ventilation and refrain from placing
items on or around your Adapter during operation.
• In order to dissipate the heat generated while operating your Adapter, keep it
well-ventilated. While in use, maintain at least 2 inches (approximately 5cm)
around the top and sides of your Adapter. Never operate your Adapter inside
a closed or confined space such as a glove compartment, console, or airline

• Inspect your Adapter and cables for damage and wear before each use. If
damage is observed, do not use or attempt to repair your Adapter and/or
cables. Consult a qualified technician for a complete safety evaluation.
• Your Adapter is not user-serviceable. Do not attempt to repair, modify, or
tamper with the external or internal components of your Adapter. Doing
so will void the warranty and may lead to serious or fatal injury and/or
property damage.

Find Your Color Code
The color-coded Notebook Tips make it easy to set up your Adapter to work
with your notebook.
Caution! Do not turn on/plug in your Adapter until you have read and
understand the following simple set-up procedures.
The color code applies both to the position of the Color-Coded Selector on your
Adapter and to the Notebook Tip that you use. When selecting your color code,
keep the following in mind:
• You MUST use the correct color code to avoid damaging your notebook.
• The Color-Coded Selector and the Notebook Tip you use MUST be the same color.
• Once you determine the correct color for the Color-Coded Selector and
Notebook Tip, you can try any tip of that color to find the one that is the best
fit for your notebook.
To determine the correct color code for your notebook, follow step 1 or 2 below,
depending on your notebook manufacturer. Once you complete that step, skip
ahead to “Set Up Your Adapter.”
1 For the notebook manufacturers listed below, the color code is GREEN.
For This Notebook Manufacturer:
The Color-Coded Selector and
Tip Color Must Be:
Acer Green
Compaq Green
Dell Green
Fujitsu-Siemens Green
Gateway Green
HP Green
2 For other notebook manufacturers, look on the bottom of your notebook for
the voltage number, as shown below:
T8000
Voltage (Volts)
Current (Amps)
MODEL NO .
PAT800E-F96 3-EN
DC 15V
3.0 A
DIX 333/T1 3.3/6/64/CD/M
NOTE: If the bottom of your notebook does not have a label showing the
voltage number, do the following:
• Check the adapter that originally came with your notebook to see if the voltage
number is displayed there.
• Remove the notebook battery and see if the voltage number is displayed there.
• If you can’t find the voltage number, contact your notebook manufacturer for
the voltage.
Use the voltage number you located to find the correct color code.
For This Voltage:
The Color-Coded Selector and
Tip Color Must Be:
14-17V Blue

Set Up Your Adapter
1 Use the tip of a pen to press the Color Selector Button, and at the same time
slide the Color-Coded Selector to match the color code for your notebook based
on the tables in “Find Your Color Code,” above.
2 Using the Notebook Tips that match the color code for your notebook, try
fitting the tips into the power port on your notebook. You can try any tip that
matches the color code to find the right fit for your notebook.
For some notebook manufacturers, Kensington recommends trying one or more
tips, as shown in the following table. Remember that you can try any tip THAT
MATCHES THE COLOR CODE to find the best fit for your notebook.
