3.Attach correct notebook power adapter tip to TravelPower Adapter output cord and connect to notebook computer.

Do not turn voltage dial while powering equipment. Unit will turn off if this occurs. Unplug adapter from power source. Turn the voltage select knob to the appropriate voltage setting. Wait 10 seconds and then reconnect to power source.

Caution:The UL listing investigation only covers the use of this product in landbased vehicles. It does not imply or cover the use on an aircraft.

Attention: The TravelPower Adapter may become hot to the touch. Allow it to cool before handling. The Adapter may automatically shut off if powering larger laptops and/or if used for extended periods in warm temperatures. If this occurs, unplug the adapter from the power source and reconnect to power after the adapter has cooled. For optimum charging under these circumstances, use the adapter outside of the TravelPower Case.

Note: USB cables made by other manufacturers will work with APC’s TravelPower Adapter.

4.To Charge a mobile phone and / or PDA, connect the USB splitter cable (included) to the USB port on the Adapter. Connect appropriate USB charging cable(s) (sold separately) from phone and / or PDA to USB splitter cable ports. Connect to power source using appropriate plug adapter (air, auto or building).

APC, or Advanced Power Control, refers to a set of technologies and features designed to enhance the efficiency and reliability of power systems. Widely used in data centers, telecommunications, and critical infrastructure, APC focuses on optimizing power management and ensuring continuous operations.

One of the hallmark features of APC is its ability to monitor energy consumption in real-time. This technology allows organizations to track their power usage, identify trends, and make data-driven decisions to reduce waste. Real-time monitoring can be critical for businesses that operate around the clock, as it helps in forecasting energy needs and minimizing operational costs.

Another significant characteristic of APC is its redundancy capabilities. By integrating redundant power supplies and distribution units, APC ensures that if one component fails, others seamlessly take over without interrupting operations. This redundancy is essential for maintaining uptime in environments where every minute of downtime can lead to substantial losses.

APC also incorporates advanced cooling technologies. Effective cooling is vital for maintaining optimal operating conditions for sensitive equipment. Innovations such as in-row cooling and hot aisle/cold aisle containment minimize energy usage while ensuring equipment stays within safe temperature ranges. These solutions not only enhance performance but also contribute to overall energy efficiency.

The technologies underlying APC include programmable logic controllers (PLCs), intelligent power distribution units (PDUs), and smart sensors. PLCs automate various tasks related to power management, providing greater control and efficiency. Intelligent PDUs distribute power intelligently, allowing for remote monitoring and management. Smart sensors enhance the system’s ability to respond dynamically to changes in power demand.

Moreover, APC systems are often equipped with predictive analytics capabilities. By analyzing historical data, these systems can anticipate future power requirements and potential failures, enabling preemptive measures to be taken. This predictive maintenance approach helps to further minimize downtime and optimize resource allocation.

In summary, APC technologies represent a critical advancement in power management. With real-time monitoring, redundancy features, advanced cooling solutions, and predictive analytics, organizations can achieve significant improvements in efficiency and reliability. By investing in these technologies, businesses can not only reduce operational costs but also enhance their overall performance in an increasingly power-dependent world.
