ADAPTER  
Introduction  
Thank you for purchasing the Targus 120 Watt Universal  
AC/DC Notebook Power Adapter. Unlike older adapters, this  
adapter’s leading-edge technology powers and charges not  
only the latest, high wattage notebook computers, but also  
legacy computers. It’s compatible with the following  
connections:  
• Any 100-120 volt or 200-240 volt AC wall outlet  
• 12 volt, negative-grounded, DC cigarette lighter  
• Airline in-seat power system  
NOTE: The compatibility between the adapter and an airline  
in-seat power system depends upon airline specifications.  
Supplied with the adapter are ChargeSource™-compatible  
PowerTips. PowerTips allow you to connect the adapter to  
your notebook computer. You can also purchase additional  
PowerTips to power and charge other portable devices, such as  
handhelds, mobile phones, digital cameras, printers and DVD  
players.  
NOTE: The type of PowerTips supplied in this package is  
determined by the country from which you purchased the  
adapter.

It’s normal for the adapter to become warm to the touch while  
you are using it. Avoid placing the adapter in direct sunlight or  
next to heat-sensitive materials.  
To avoid possible damage when using the adapter with your  
notebook computer, make sure that the computer’s batteries  
either meet or exceed the original manufacturer’s  
specifications.

power and charge different models of notebook computers and

case, use the In-Auto connection method. See “In-Auto  
Connection” on page 5.  
The compatibility between the adapter and an airline in-seat  
power system depends upon both the airline and the  
manufacturer’s power specifications for your device.
