Compatibility
| 1. |
Will myPower ALL work with my device? |
| |
myPower ALL works with hundreds of personal electronic
devices. For a list of compatible devices, go to: www.tekkeon.com/myPoweralladapters |
| 2. |
If my device is not listed on the compatibility
list, will it work with myPower ALL? |
| |
myPower ALL works with most devices that require 19V
(MP3450), 14V (MP3300), or less. The compatibility
obstacle for myPower ALL 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 myPower ALL cable to the device.
The adapters that fit a majority of the jack types are
included with myPower ALL. However, if you cannot find
your specific model in the compatibility list, but see
similar models, it is likely that myPower ALL 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. |
| 3. |
Will myPower ALL work
with my laptop? |
| |
MP3450 will power
and charge virtually all laptops
and most other portable devices that require 19V or
less. MP3450 should be used to charge larger notebooks
that require up to 20V/3.5A.
MP3300 will power most
notebooks that require 16v or less, and will power
and charge most other devices
that require up to 14V/3.5V.
myPower ALL comes with adapters for most major brands
of laptop computers. Apple laptops and some Dell
laptops require adapters that are not included with
myPower ALL, but are available at the Tekkeon Store.
Please note that myPower ALL will not work with
Apple laptops with 17” screens, or MacBook
laptops with the proprietary MagSafe power adapters.
For a list of compatible devices, go to www.tekkeon.com/myPoweralladapters.
Note: You can optimize the use of myPower ALL
with your notebook computer by setting the voltage
on myPower ALL to less than the required voltage. This
prevents myPower ALL from charging the device, thus
extending the amount of time you can use myPower ALL
to power your notebook. |
| 4. |
Will myPower ALL work with other devices,
like my blow dryer? |
| |
myPower ALL works with devices that require 19V DC
or less. As larger electronic devices require much more
power, myPower ALL can be used only with personal electronic
devices with a DC input. |
Adapters
| 5. |
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. |
| 6. |
Will the same adapter work for all my devices? |
| |
The type of adapter required depends on the device.
Several of the most common adapters are included with
myPower ALL. If your other devices require different adapters,
you simply remove one adapter and replace it with the
second adapter. Most adapters not included with myPower
ALL can be purchased through the Tekkeon Store. |
