COMMON QUESTIONS CONCERNING DC/DC
POWER ADAPTERS
If the output LED on the adapter does not light when plugged in what is wrong?
Some cars must be running or must have the ignition key ON to have power at
the lighter socket. Also, the airline In-Seat power may be turned OFF during some
parts of the flight. It is also possible that one of the safety shut down circuits
in the adapter has tripped (See features list). If so, allow the automatic reset to
restore the output power. Check the fuse on the adapter to see if it is blown.
Is it normal for the adapter to get warm in use?
Yes. Restricted air flow around the adapter may even cause the adapter to
overheat and shut down. This is a safety feature and does no harm to the adapter
or your computer. Do not place the adapter in a vehicle glove compartment or
other restrictive area, or cover it with anything in such a way that heat can not
dissipate.
Does it matter which cable gets plugged in first?
No.
Can I plug the computer in when it is running?
Yes.
Is it OK to start or stop the vehicle engine with the adapter plugged in?
Yes, but do not jump start the vehicle with the adapter in place. Many jump start
systems use high voltages that will normally shut down the adapter output but
extreme voltage spikes may damage the adapter circuitry. Starting the vehicle
may turn the adapter off. After a ten second delay, the adapter will start back up.
Can I use this DC adapter with the in-seat power system on an airplane?
The airline in-seat power system is limited to 75 Watts. 80-120 Watt adapters can
not be used with the airline in-seat power system.
Can this adapter be used with a multi output cigarette plug splitter?
Do not use with lighter plug splitter cables. These devices can cause the cigarette
lighter plug on the adapter to become very hot. The plastic cases of these splitters
can entrap the heat and not allow it to dissipate. Call us for alternate ways of
connecting more than one device to your DC source.
Replacement and direct input connection cables are available from Lind. Call
us with your needs. Replacement fuses can be obtained from Lind or from auto
parts stores.
