Questions about this item

What is included in the box and what must be purchased separately?
The package contains the power adapter, a DC plugs kit with eight interchangeable tips, a voltage switch key and a manual. A polarity-reversal cable is required separately if your device uses centre-negative polarity.
Which version of the Dell PA-30120W-ZMX should I choose for a device needing 9 V at 800 mA?
Select the 12 W model and set the output switch to 9 V; it supports up to 1000 mA, covering your 800 mA requirement.
