Connecting the Power Cord

Note: If you are not experienced in connecting accessories to the vehicle fuse box, please see your automotive dealer for advice on proper installation.

Installation for everyday use:

1.Check the vehicle battery connections to determine which battery terminal (positive or negative) is grounded to the engine block or chassis. Most of today’s vehicles use a negative ground. If your vehicle has a negative ground, follow Steps 2 and 3. Otherwise, skip to the note following Step 3.

2.Connect the RED wire of the DC power cord to the accessory contact in your vehicle’s +12V DC fuse box.

3.Connect the BLACK wire of the DC power cord to the negative side of the vehicle (usually the chassis).

Note: In vehicles with a positive ground, the RED wire connects to the chassis and the BLACK wire connects to the accessory contact in the fuse box.

4. Insert the DC plug into the DC 12V jack on the back of the scanner.
