Compatibility

1.	Will TekCharge MP2250 work with my device?
	TekCharge MP2250 has been specially designed to mount to and power CradlePoint travel routers CTR350, CTR500, and PHS300. The battery also will power other travel routers and 5V devices. For a list of compatible devices, go to: TekCharge MP2250 Compatibility

If my device is not listed on the compatibility list, will it work with TekCharge MP2250?

TekCharge MP2250 works with most devices that require 5V. The compatibility obstacle for TekCharge MP2250 is the physical connection to the power jack. Device manufacturers all use varying types of jacks, so an adapter must be used to connect the TekCharge MP2250 cable to the device.

If you cannot find your specific model in the compatibility list, but see similar models, it is likely that TekCharge MP2250 will work with your device. You can assume that the model has not been included in the compatibility list, as we have not yet identified the adapter type on that specific device.

Tekkeon makes every effort to identify the adapter plug requirements of new devices. However, due to the large number of devices available, we are not able to identify the adapter requirements for every device.

Adapters

3.	How do I know which adapter to use with my device?
	The size of each adapter plug varies to match the device. To determine which adapter to use, connect each of the included adapters to your device. The correct adapter will fit securely.

4.	Will the same adapter work for all my devices?
	The type of adapter required depends on the device. When devices require different adapters, you simply remove one adapter and replace it with the second adapter. Most adapters can be purchased through the Tekkeon online store.

5.	Can I obtain adapters that are not included with the TekCharge MP2250?
	Yes. For a nominal fee, you can purchase additional adapters from the Tekkeon online store.

6.	Can I obtain a replacement adapter if I lose one?

Using TekCharge MP2250

7.	How does TekCharge MP2250 work?
	TekCharge MP2250 has an internal lithium polymer, that powers and/or charges connected devices. While TekCharge MP2250 is connected, it powers and charges the device battery, so the device can be used while its battery is being charged. TekCharge MP2250 discharges power from its battery as it powers and charges a device, so the battery eventually must be recharged.

8.	What do I need to use TekCharge MP2250?
	You need your device, TekCharge MP2250, the appropriate power adapter and the included output cable.

What's included with TekCharge MP2250?

TekCharge MP2250 comes with:
•	Right angle output cord
•	CradlePoint adapter tip
•	Bridge tip, 3.4 x 1.3mm
•	Mounting brackets for CradlePoint travel routers CTR350, CTR500 and PHS300
•	User guide

10.	Why is the bridge tip included?
	Tekkeon provides two types of adapter tips: model # PA-xxxx, a two-pin connector type for connection to 5V or higher voltage devices using the standard output cable; and model # UA-xxx, a female DC type for connection to 5V devices using the Tekkeon USB cable for 5V devices. The bridge tip allows you to connect MP2250 with the included cable to all Tekkeon UA-xxx tips.

11.	How do I charge TekCharge MP2250?
	You will use the CradlePoint power adapter (5V, 2.5A-3.0A) to charge TekCharge MP2250.

13.	Do I have to remove the batteries from my device to charge the device batteries?
	No, you do not need to remove the batteries from the device. TekCharge MP2250 simply connects to the external power jack on your device.

14.	How can I determine the remaining battery capacity?
	Indicators on the top of TekCharge MP2250 provide a visual indication of the remaining capacity. These same indicators also indicate the power level when you are charging the TekCharge MP2250 internal battery.

15.	Do all portable devices have a power jack?
	No, not all portable electronic devices include a power jack. TekCharge MP2250 can only be used with devices that include a power jack.
