Using a DC adapter, such as Cat. No. 270-1560A, you can power the recorder from your vehicle’s bat- tery.

Cautions:

•You must use an adapter that supplies 3 volts with the center tip set to positive, delivers the 300 milliamps the recorder draws, and has a plug that correctly fits the recorder’s DC 3V jack. The recommended adapter meets these require- ments. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the recorder or the adapter.

•Always plug the adapter into the recorder before plugging it into the cigarette-lighter socket. Always unplug the adapter from the cigarette- lighter socket before unplugging it from the recorder.
