Owner’s Manual
Thank you for purchasing the LAC120 Laptop Power Adapter. The LAC120 provides regulated DC 15 
to 24 volt output, which is adjustable by preset increments. The LAC120 will also accept input voltages 
ranging from 100 to 240VAC, allowing for worldwide use. The unit will support laptops requiring peak 
power up to 120W, in addition to providing two convenient USB power ports for charging your cell 
phone,  PDA,  MP3  player  or  any  other  device  that  can  be  charged  from  a  standard  USB  port. The 
package includes the power unit, AC power cord and nine adapter plugs to fit most popular laptop 
computers. 
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use the adapter to power a device that exceeds 120W maximum power rating. Make sure the 
adapter is disconnected from the AC outlet and the laptop before making any adjustments to the 
voltage settings. Make sure you have selected the proper voltage setting and the correct connector 
before connecting to your laptop.
ADJUSTING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE
Follow these steps to adjust the output voltage on the LAC120.
Determine the required voltage setting and polarity of 
the power adapter by one of the following 3 methods.
1.) The voltage indication marked next to the 
input jack on the laptop device to be powered.
Example: VIN: = 18VDC or 18V DC
NOTE: The specific notation “VDC” might not be indicated, Instead the following international 
symbol shown might be used 18        .
In some cases you may determine the desired voltage is between whole numbers such as 15.5VDC. 
In this case use the next higher voltage setting (16VDC)
Adjusting the Output Voltage
To adjust the output voltages just slide 
the selector switch to the required voltage.
Polarity
Look for this symbol in any of the three locations 
mentioned above that looks like the following:
Use the diagram shown above to verify that you laptop uses “center positive” polarity as most all 
laptops use “center positive” polarity. Do not use the LAC120 if your laptop shows “center negative” 
polarity.
Do not force the tip in, it should slide in as easily as your original did. If it does not fit easily please 
verify you have the correct tip listed in our reference. Connect the selected adapter tip to the end of 
the LAC120. 
Plug the LAC120 into the laptop, then plug the AC power cord into the AC jack on the adapter and 
then into a standard AC outlet. The Blue LED power indicator will light showing the LAC120 is                          
functioning correctly.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Some laptop computers have power supplies in excess of this power adapter (120 Watts).In 
most cases, the higher rating is used to both charge a completely discharged battery and 
power the laptop at the same time. This power adapter can be used for such applications, but 
it is recommended that the computers battery be fully recharged before using the adapter to 
operate the laptop.
NOTE: This power adapter can power, but may not be able to charge battery for some Dell
®
 models.
 
If the indicator turns off while the power adapter is in use, this indicates that the power 
requirement of the device is beyond the maximum output of the LAC120 and that 
overload/short circuit protection has been activated.
NOTE: It is normal for the LAC120 to be warm during use.
Notice
• Keep the LAC120 dry, if it gets wet wipe it dry immediately.
• Use and store it in normal temperature environments.
• Handle the LAC120 carefully, do not drop it. 
• Do not use the LAC120 if the cords become damaged.
Keep the LAC120 away from dust and dirt; wipe it with a cloth occasionally to keep it clean.
There are no user serviceable parts inside! Modifying or tampering with its internal 
components can cause a malfunction and will invalidate its warranty. If your LAC120 is not 
performing as it should during the warranty period, contact Lenmar for warranty service.
