Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a Rocketfish universal netbook
power adapter. This adapter plugs into any AC or DC power
outlet anywhere in the world, and provides a reliable power
source to run your netbook computer and charge its internal
battery. 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.

NOTE: A physical adapter plug may be necessary to plug
into some AC power outlets outside of the United States, but
