3. Setup

Follow these steps to set up your LE Power Adapter:

1. Verify Device Compatibility: Ensure your device requires 12V DC input and its current draw does not exceed 2 Amps (24W).
2. Connect to Device:
   • If your device has a standard 2.1mm x 5.5mm DC barrel jack, simply plug the adapter's DC output connector directly into your device.
   • If your device uses bare wires (e.g., some LED strip lights), use the included 2.1mm x 5.5mm Female Adapter. Connect the positive (+) wire of your device to the (+) terminal and the negative (-) wire to the (-) terminal on the screw terminal adapter. Then, plug the screw terminal adapter into the power adapter's DC output connector.
3. Plug into Power Outlet: Once the adapter is securely connected to your device, plug the US plug of the power adapter into a standard 100-240V AC wall outlet.
4. Power On: Your device should now receive power.
