Universal Car Power Supply Unit for Notebooks – 90 W
Congratulations on your purchase of this universal power supply
unit for notebooks and netbooks. This unit is distinguished by its
reliability, compact, lightweight design, uncompromising focus
on safety and superior efficiency. Please read these instructions
carefully before use to ensure proper and safe operation. This
power supply unit has a series of integrated protection mea-
sures that ensure maximum safety. For example:
• Shutdown in case of short circuit
• Shutdown in case of overheating
• Overcurrent fuse
The following items are included:
• 1 x Power supply unit
• 10 x Notebook adapter plugs
• 1 x Operating instructions
Getting started
1. Determine which power supply your laptop/netbook requires.
The voltage specifications can usually be found on the original
power supply unit or in the user manual of your notebook/
netbook. If in doubt, consult the manufacturer.
2. The adaptor plugs included with the power supply unit cover
most common notebooks/netbooks from well-known manufac-
turers.
Please select the correct adapter using the plug on the original
power supply unit. You may want to check whether the adapter
fits into the notebook's socket while the notebook is switched
off and the power supply unit is NOT connected. The plug should
slide into the socket easily and fit securely without too much
play.
Warning:
Do not use force under any circumstances. This may damage
the notebook's power socket or the adapter. You can find a
comprehensive and current compatibility list at
www.hama.de/accessoryassistant/Notebook
Adapter plugs that have been lost or are missing can be ob-
tained through our Support Hotline. Plugs that are available will
be shipped to you without charge.
Warning:
Your laptop/netbook may be damaged if it requires a different
voltage than the one set. Do not connect the power supply unit
to your laptop if you have any doubts as to the voltage.
Ensure that the total power consumption of the notebook/
netbook does not exceed the power supply unit's rated output
capacity of 90 W.
3. Connect the correct adapter to the power cable's DC
connection line. This connection is protected against polarity
reversal; i.e. the adapter fits easily into the connection cable in
one position only. Therefore, it is extremely important that you
never attempt to forcibly insert the adaptor plug in the wrong
position.
Warning:
If the polarity is reversed then the notebook may be damaged.
4. First connect the power supply unit to the notebook/netbook.
Then insert the input connector (cigarette lighter plug) of the
power supply unit into the 12 V or 24V socket (cigarette lighter)
of your vehicle.
Warning!
The notebook must never have a conductive connection to your
vehicle's earth or a device connected to the USB port on the
power supply unit while the notebook is connected to the power
supply unit!
