Using myPower ALL myPower ALL can be used to power and/or charge your portable device. With devices that require higher voltage levels, like notebook computers and portable DVD players, we recommend that you use myPower ALL only to power the device. You will find that powering without charging your higher voltage device will maximize the battery life of myPower ALL, thus letting you use your portable device even longer.
3. Connect the adapter plug to the power output cord (but not the device), according to the device polarity: • If the device polarity is center positive, match the positive symbol (+) on the selected adapter plug to the positive symbol (+) on the power output cord and connect. • If the device polarity is center negative, match the positive symbol (+) on the selected adapter plug to negative symbol (-) on the output cable and connect.
2. With the voltage lock in the unlocked position (switched right to VOLTAGE), set the voltage output to the voltage selection that is equal to or one increment higher than the voltage identified for your device. To do this, press the voltage selector until the voltage indicator turns on under the appropriate voltage selection (3, 4.5, 5, 6, 7.5, 9, 12, 14V). For example, if your device requires 6V, set the voltage to 6. If your device requires 7.2V, set the voltage to 7.5.
the device. If it is less than 64W, set the voltage on MP3300 to 12V and test to see if it will power your notebook at this setting. If not, increase the voltage to 14V and retest. Most portable DVD players require 9 or 12 volts. Set the voltage to 7.5V and test to see if myPower ALL will power your device at this setting. If not, increase the voltage by one level and retest. Connect the Portable Device 1. Connect the adapter plug into the power jack on the portable device. 2.
