It may also be located under your seat. Please ask a ﬂight attendant for the exact location of the connector. Once located, plug the In-Flight Connector into the airline socket.

If the LED on the adapter does not illuminate, check all of the connections. You may also need to check with a ﬂight attendant to make sure the power is on in the aircraft. Pilots can turn on and off the power to the seats in the plane.

As in your auto or on the plane, once connected, your battery will automati- cally charge regardless of whether your computer is turned on or off.
