Contact your airline for information on using an airline adapter on your flight.

To use the adapter:

1.Plug the adapter cable into the AC adapter connector on the computer.

2.Connect the adapter to the cigarette lighter socket or the portable computer connector on the airplane.

The light on the adapter is green when the adapter is working properly. The light may be red for a few seconds when you first plug in the adapter or while you use the adapter. This is normal. If the light remains red, check to make sure the adapter is connected correctly.

If the adapter is plugged in and the adapter light does not turn on:

Check the adapter connections.

If you are in an automobile, turn on the automobile’s ignition to supply power to the adapter. In some vehicles, power to the cigarette lighter socket is always on and you do not need to turn on the ignition.

If you are in an airplane, ask your flight attendant when power will be activated to the portable computer connector. The connector may not be activated at certain times during your flight.

If the previous procedures do not activate the adapter, you may need to change the fuse in the adapter. To remove the fuse from the adapter, unscrew the adapter cap with a pair of pliers and remove the cap. Replace the fuse with an 8 amp fuse. In an automobile, you may need to replace the fuse in the cigarette lighter socket.
