Cautions:

You must use a Class 2

!power source that supplies 3V DC and delivers at least

300 mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the re- ceiver's DC 3V jack. Using an adapt- er that does not meet these specifications could damage the re- ceiver or the adapter.

Always connect the AC adapter to the receiver before you connect it to AC power. When you finish, discon- nect the adapter from AC power before you disconnect it from the receiver.

If you disconnect power from the receiver for about 30 seconds, all information stored in memory will be lost. However, if you disconnect the AC adapter plug from the receiver’s DC 3V jack and have batteries installed, the memory stays intact.

Follow these steps to power the receiver from AC power.

1.Connect the Adaptaplug to the adapter’s cord with the TIP set to +POS.

2.Insert the barrel plug into the receiver’s DC 3V jack. This discon- nects the internal batteries.

3.Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.

Using Vehicle Battery Power

You can power the receiver from a vehi- cle’s 12V power source (such as ciga- rette-lighter socket) using a 3V, 300-mA DC adapter and a size H Adaptaplug (neither supplied). Both are available at your local RadioShack store.

Always connect the DC adapter to the receiver before you connect it to the power source. When you finish, disconnect the adapter from the power source before you disconnect it from the receiver.

If you disconnect power from the receiver for about 30 seconds, all information stored in memory will be lost. However, if you disconnect the DC adapter plug from the receiver’s DC 3V jack and have batteries installed, the memory stays intact.
