With the disclaimer that I'm not an electrician, I would think:

* voltage should be the same;

* polarity of the DC output must be the same (i.e., which contact is Plus and which is Minus);

* if the substitute adapter is capable of higher power (Wattage) output than the original, that may
be OK; the device will simply draw less. If the substitue adapter is not capable of enough power,
that would be a problem.
