The MagSafe Airline Adapter is compatible with all Apple portable computers that have the MagSafe power adapter port. It provides power for your computer when plugged into the EmPower port nearest your airline seat, but does not charge the battery. Remember to unplug the MagSafe Airline Adapter before leaving your seat to avoid tripping over the cable, and be cautious of not spilling liquid on it. Some airlines may have 20 mm in-seat power ports that require an additional adapter, which can be attached to the MagSafe Airline Adapter. However, it is important to never plug the MagSafe Airline Adapter, with or without the additional adapter, into a car's cigarette lighter or auxiliary power socket, as it won't provide power or charge the battery.
The MagSafe Airline Adapter provides power to Apple portable computers that have a MagSafe port when connected to an aircraft EmPower seat outlet. It does not charge the computer’s battery; it only supplies operating power.
The manual includes safety instructions, guidance for using optional 20 mm in‑seat power adapters, and warnings against connecting the adapter to automobile cigarette‑lighter sockets or other non‑airline power sources.
