Note: In some vehicles power to the cigarette lighter is always on. These vehicles may not require the ignition to be turned on.

Caution: It is NOT recommended to have the Kensington Universal AC/Car/Air Adapter connected to your notebook when starting the engine. The power may be interrupted causing your system to reset.

To use in an Airplane:

You will need to find the in-flight socket in the airplane. This socket is usually located in the arm rest of your seat, typically in the same location you use to plug in headphones. 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.

To use in a Standard Wall Outlet:

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.

Note: We recommend that you use the Kensington Universal AC/Car/Air Adapter only with notebook batteries that meet or exceed the original manufacturer's specifications.
