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?

The Rocketfish Universal Power Adapter is compatible with

many netbook models. A complete list of compatible

netbooks can be viewed through the Tip Wizard at

www.RocketfishProducts.com and go to RF-NBACDC to find

the Tip Wizard.

RF-NBACDC

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.

How long is the cord from the wall to the

netbook?

The AC input cord is 3.3 feet (1 meter).

If I leave the adapter plugged in when I'm not

using it does it waste energy?

This Rocketfish adapter meets EnergyStar and CEC IV energy

requirements which means it is an energy-efficient product

designed to conserve power. When the adapter is plugged in

and not being used it draws less than 0.5W of power.
