assistance.

What other laptops can I use this adapter for?

The Insignia Universal Power Adapter is compatible with

thousands of laptop models. A complete list of compatible

laptops can be viewed through the Tip Wizard at http://

bbyurl.us/tipfinder.

Why doesn't the tip fit into my laptop?

If the tip does not appear to fit into your laptop you may have

selected the incorrect tip for your laptop. The tip should fit

snugly inside the DC input jack on the side or back of your

laptop. If the tip does not fit into the jack, do not force the tip.

Confirm you have selected the correct tip for your laptop by

visiting the Tip Wizard at http://bbyurl.us/tipfinder. If you need

additional assistance please contact Insignia customer service at

(877) 467-4289.

Will using an incorrect tip damage my laptop?

The tips are designed to be used with specific laptops and so you

should only use the tip that is designated specifically for your

laptop. The correct tip can be identified by using the online Tip

Wizard at http://bbyurl.us/tipfinder.

The use of an incorrect tip may cause performance issues,

including the inability to charge the internal battery or power

the laptop, or the display of an error message on the laptop

screen. It is also possible that the use of an incorrect tip could

damage your laptop. For these reasons, it is necessary to use the

tip designed specifically for your laptop.

My laptop is less than 90 watts (e.g. 65 watts).

Will this adapter damage my laptop?

No, using this power adapter will not damage your laptop. This

adapter only supplies as much power as required by the laptop,

up to a maximum of 90 watts.

My laptop is more than 90 watts (e.g. 120

watts). Will this adapter damage my laptop?

This is a 90 watt adapter and it should NOT be used with laptops

that require more than 90 watts of power.

I notice that the adapter is warm when I use it. Is

this a problem?

During standard operation the 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.

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

using it does it waste energy?

This Insignia adapter meets EnergyStar and CEC V 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.
