Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a Rocketfish Slimline Energy Efficient Laptop
AC Power Adapter with USB. This AC power 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.

NOTE: A physical adapter plug may be necessary to plug into some AC

power outlets outside of the United States, but no voltage converter is
needed anywhere in the world.

This adapter comes with a variety of numbered tips which connect to
the output cable of the adapter and control the output voltage. To
ensure that the proper voltage is delivered to your laptop, you must
always make sure that you are using the correct tip for your specific
laptop model. Read the following instructions and refer to the Tip
Compatibility Guide included with this adapter to make sure you select
the correct tip for your laptop. You can also go to the Tip Wizard at
www.rocketfishproducts.com for a complete listing of compatible
models.

This AC power adapter also has the charging convenience of a built-in
USB port. You can use this USB port to charge popular USB devices such
as cell phones, iPods, and even higher-power devices such as iPads,
tablet computers, and newer smartphones at the same time the adapter
powers and charges the laptop.
Rocketfish adapters are made using the highest quality components
and feature all of the necessary voltage and heat protection circuits to
ensure maximum levels of safety and efficiency.

Energy Saving Feature

While traditional adapters constantly draw “vampire power” as long as
they remain plugged in, this energy efficient adapter automatically
shuts off this passive drain when the laptop cycles into “sleep” mode or
is shut off. When you are ready to use the laptop, simply begin typing or
touch the Smart Tip’s power switch to cycle back into full power mode.

CAUTION: This AC power adapter is not compatible with Mac computers.
