Connecting to a DC Supply
The PocketJet can be powered from its internal NiMH battery or from a
vehicle DC supply. To install the battery, see page 36. To connect
your PocketJet to a “12-volt” vehicle DC supply to print or maintain
the battery charge, follow the steps below.
1. Connect an appropriate power adapter cord (either with a cigarette
plug or direct wired) to the vehicle 12VDC supply as shown in
Figure 3. (These items are available as options - See Ordering
Information, Chapter 8.)
2. Connect the power cord to the PocketJet.
3. Turn on the vehicle power, and then turn on the PocketJet.
