FAQ for Rocketfish Adapters  
What tip should I use for my netbook?  
You can determine the correct tip for your netbook by  
referencing the Tip Compatibility Guide included with the  
adapter or by visiting the Tip Wizard at  
www.RocketfishProducts.com and go to RF-NBACDC to find  
the Tip Wizard. Locate your netbook manufacturer and  
model and the correct tip will be listed.  
If you cannot find your specific netbook model please  
contact Rocketfish customer service at (800) 620-2790 for  
additional assistance.  
How do I connect the tip to the adapter cable?  
Once you have selected the correct tip for your netbook,  
connect the tip to the output cable, making sure that the  
ridge on the inside of the tip aligns properly with the groove  
in the output cable connector. Additionally, the pins on the  
inside of the tip should be in line with the holes in the output  
cable. The tip should be pushed firmly onto the cable until  
the tip and cable meet and there is no gap.  
What other netbooks can I use this adapter  
for?

Why doesn't the tip fit into my netbook?  
If the tip does not appear to fit into your netbook you may  
have selected the incorrect tip for your netbook. The tip  
should fit snugly inside the DC input jack on the side or back  
of your netbook. If the tip will not fit into the jack, do not  
force the tip. Confirm you have selected the correct tip for  
your netbook by referencing the included Tip Compatibility  
Guide or visiting the Tip Wizard at  
www.RocketfishProducts.com and go to RF-NBACDC to find  
the Tip Wizard. If you need additional assistance, contact  
Rocketfish customer service at (800) 620-2790.  
Will using an incorrect tip damage my  
netbook?  
The tips are designed to be used with specific netbooks and  
so you should only use the tip that is designated specifically  
for your netbook. The correct tip can be identified by using  
the online Tip Wizard at www.RocketfishProducts.com and  
go to RF-NBACDC to find the Tip Wizard, or by locating your  
specific netbook in the included Tip Compatibility Guide.  
The use of an incorrect tip may cause performance issues,  
including the inability to charge the internal battery or  
power the netbook, or the display of an error message on the  
netbook screen. It is also possible that the use of an incorrect  
tip could damage your netbook. For these reasons, it is  
necessary to use the tip designed specifically for your  
netbook.  
I notice that the adapter is warm when I use it.  
Is this a problem?  
During standard operation the power adapter body may feel  
warm, and this is normal. The adapter should always be  
placed in a ventilated area in order to prevent over-heating.

using it does it waste energy?

requirements which means it is an energy-efficient product  
designed to conserve power. When the adapter is plugged in
