ADJUSTING OUTPUT VOLTAGE
Warning: Your adapter provides direct current (DC) voltage. Do
not use it with devices that are not specifically identified as re-
quiring DC voltage. Do not use it with devices that require AC
voltage. Damage to the device could result.
Follow these steps to adjust the output voltage.
Caution: Make the proper voltage setting before you connect
the adapter to an input power source.
1. Determine the required output voltage setting of the
adapter by one of the following four methods:
• Refer to “Compatible Computers” on Page 18 for volt-
age, tip size, and polarity settings.
• Note the voltage indication marked next to the input jack
on the device to be powered. Example: Vin = 18VDC or
18VDC.
• Review the power or ID plate on the device to be pow-
ered. Look for the word “INPUT” followed by a number
and VDC. Example: INPUT: 18VDC.
• Review the power or ID plate on the AC power adapter
usually used to power the device. Look for the word
“OUTPUT” followed by a number and VDC. Example:
OUTPUT: 18VDC.
