Introduction

The MPA111 is a 19VDC power adaptor with a universal mains input of 100-240VAC so you can operate it worldwide with a suitable mains power cord or adaptor.

Included with the adaptor are several DC plug tips which will operate most currently available laptops.

The unit features a power output of 4.74A. This output power will enable you to operate your laptop and charge the laptop during normal use.

In periods of heavy use, especially if the laptop is powering several USB peripherals, the adaptor may not be able to power the laptop and charge the battery.

It is safe to leave the unit connected to the mains supply for extended periods, so battery charging can take place in the laptop’s “down time”.

It is normal for power adaptors to become warm during use. Avoid touching the device during use.

As a precaution, unplug the unit from the mains supply when not in use.

The means of disconnection from the mains is the mains plug on the power cord.

This must be unobstructed and freely accessible at all times.
