Vehicle/Air & Vehicle-Only Power Adapters (Optional)
The main purpose of the vehicle/air or vehicle-only power adapters is to provide a source of power for
using the Notebook PC and/or charging the Notebook PC’s battery from while in transit when no AC
power is available. These products are essential tools for today’s mobile professional. Your purchase
will enhance the power, performance, and versatility of your portable computer while traveling in the
air, on the road, or on the sea.
Vehicle/Air Power Adapter
You can use the Vehicle/Air power adapter in most vehicles, airplanes, or boats. The Vehicle/Air power
adapter has both a cigarette plug and an EmPower plug.
The cigarette plug fits into any vehicle’s 12 volt DC cigarette or utility receptacle and produces an
output of 19 Volts.
The EmPower plug is designed to work with EmPower in-flight airplane power systems. EmPower
systems are currently available on most major airlines. If you are unsure of its availability on your
flight, please consult your airline information services.
Vehicle-Only Power Adapter
The Vehicle-Only power adapter does not have an EmPower plug and can therefore be used only in
vehicles or boats using a standard cigarette lighter socket.
NOTE: The Vehicle/Air power adapter is shown here. A vehicle-only (automobile or
boat) model is also available which only has a fixed cigarette plug and cannot be
used in airplanes.
