In order to disperse the heat generated while operating your Adapter, keep
it well ventilated. While in use, maintain several inches around the top and
sides of the Adapter. Never operate your Adapter inside a closed or confined
space such as a glove compartment, console, or in the airline seat pocket.
Air Connection
If the airline that you are traveling on provides a compatible airline
in-seat power source you can use your Adapter to power your notebook
or digital device.

so only in a well ventilated area, away from other enclosed areas. Automotive
vehicles emit carbon monoxide which can cause death if the vehicle’s engine
is running in a garage or enclosed area, or near other enclosed areas.
2. Insert the Adapter’s Empower connector into the in-seat power socket,
usually found on the arm of your seat or under the seat. The Adapter’s
status light glows when powered.

it into the notebook or digital device.
•
•
Keep your Adapter dry. Do not expose the Adapter to water, rain, or snow;
if it gets wet or is exposed to moisture, wipe it dry immediately.
The notebook or digital device’s battery will start to charge. Turn on and use
your notebook or digital device, per airline guidelines.

your Adapter and never attempt to repair it yourself. Return it to the place of
purchase or have it repaired by a qualified technician.

nents. Doing so could result in serious or fatal injury or property damage.
