Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient use of your FSP 230W AC Adapter. Please read these instructions carefully before using the product to ensure optimal performance and longevity. This adapter is designed to provide reliable power to compatible laptops and devices requiring 19.5V and 11.79A.
Setup

- Connect the Power Cord: Insert the AC power cord firmly into the adapter's input port.
- Connect to Power Outlet: Plug the other end of the AC power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
- Connect to Device: Insert the DC output plug (5.5 x 2.5mm) into your laptop's power input jack. Ensure a snug fit.

Operating Instructions
- Normal Operation: Once connected, the adapter will automatically supply power to your device. Some adapters may have an LED indicator to show power status.
- Safe Disconnection: Always disconnect the adapter from the wall outlet first, then from your device. Avoid pulling the cable directly; grasp the plug.
- Indoor Use Only: This adapter is designed for indoor use in dry environments. Do not expose it to water, high humidity, or extreme temperatures.
- Ventilation: Ensure the adapter has adequate ventilation during use. Do not cover it or place it in enclosed spaces, as this can lead to overheating.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Disconnect the adapter from all power sources before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: When not in use, store the adapter in a cool, dry place. Avoid tightly winding the cables, which can cause damage over time.
- Cable Care: Regularly inspect the power cord and adapter cable for any signs of damage, such as fraying, cuts, or exposed wires. If damage is found, discontinue use immediately and replace the adapter.
Troubleshooting
- Adapter not providing power:
- Ensure both the AC power cord and the DC output plug are securely connected.
- Check if the wall outlet is functional by plugging in another device.
- Verify that the adapter's specifications (voltage, current, plug size) match your device's requirements.
- Inspect the cables for any visible damage.
- Laptop not charging:
- Confirm the adapter is correctly connected to both the power outlet and the laptop.
- Restart your laptop.
- Check your laptop's battery health settings.
- Ensure the laptop's charging port is clean and free of debris.
- Adapter feels hot:
- It is normal for power adapters to generate some heat during operation.
- Ensure the adapter is in a well-ventilated area and not covered.
- If the adapter is excessively hot to touch or emits a burning smell, disconnect it immediately and discontinue use.

- If you frequently travel, consider purchasing a dedicated travel adapter to avoid repeatedly plugging and unplugging the main power cord from the adapter brick.
