Your RadioShack 80 Watt Univeral AC/
DC Notebook Adapter is designed to
power popular brand notebook
computers which require DC input from
12V to 24V, with AC power input
ranging from 100V to 240V. It can also
power other devices within this range,
using the appropriate Adaptaplug
adapter. The power adapter features
overload and short circuit protection to
protect it from damage.
The adapter comes with an AC power
cord, a zipper pouch for handy carrying,
six standard Adaptaplugs, and two
custom plugs to fit several different
models of Dell laptop computers. To
use this power adapter in countries
other than the USA, use a foreign
voltage plug adapter (not supplied,
available at your local RadioShack
store or online at RadioShack.com) of
the proper configuration for the power
outlet.

Save your data
frequently! If you operate
your notebook computer
after removing its
internal battery, an
interruption in power
might result in an
immediate computer
shutdown and possible
data loss. Such a power
interruption could be
caused by accidentally
disconnecting either end
of the power adapter.

After making the connections described
above, check the power adapter’s cord.
If it is hanging loosely or if it is
positioned so that it could be damaged,
wind the excess cord around the
adapter — the large grooves on the top
and bottom of the adapter help hold the
cord in place. When the cord is the
length you want, slide the cord clip
down the cord until it is next to the part
of the cord you wrapped around the
adapter. Then, press the clip over one
piece of the wound cord to hold the
cord in place.

Some notebook computers have power
supplies in excess of the rating of this
power adapter (80 watts). In most
cases, this higher rating is used to both
charge a completely discharged battery

for such applications, but it is

The 80 Watt Universal AC/DC
Notebook Adapter is compatible with all
notebook computers listed in the
following table. The table is not
necessarily comprehensive, though, so
your notebook computer could work
with this adapter even though it is not
listed. Verify it against your computer’s
original power supply, as
manufacturing changes are sometimes
made in mid-production. As long as the
voltage and power requirements of
your computer are satisfied by this
Power Adapter, you can use it to power
the computer. Many sizes of
