ADAPTER

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Targus 120 Watt Universal
AC/DC Notebook Power Adapter. Unlike older adapters, this
adapter’s leading-edge technology powers and charges not
only the latest, high wattage notebook computers, but also
legacy computers. It’s compatible with the following
connections:

• Any 100-120 volt or 200-240 volt AC wall outlet

• 12 volt, negative-grounded, DC cigarette lighter

• Airline in-seat power system

NOTE: The compatibility between the adapter and an airline
in-seat power system depends upon airline specifications.

Supplied with the adapter are ChargeSource™-compatible
PowerTips. PowerTips allow you to connect the adapter to
your notebook computer. You can also purchase additional
PowerTips to power and charge other portable devices, such as
handhelds, mobile phones, digital cameras, printers and DVD
players.

NOTE: The type of PowerTips supplied in this package is
determined by the country from which you purchased the
adapter.

Before You Begin

It’s normal for the adapter to become warm to the touch while
you are using it. Avoid placing the adapter in direct sunlight or
next to heat-sensitive materials.

To avoid possible damage when using the adapter with your
notebook computer, make sure that the computer’s batteries
either meet or exceed the original manufacturer’s
specifications.

PowerTips

PowerTips are interchangeable attachments that allow you to
power and charge different models of notebook computers and
other portable devices, using the same adapter.
