Kenwood TH-K2ET, TH-KAE, TH-K4AT DC-DCConverter, Connecting To A Cigarette Lighter Socket

CONNECTING TO A CIGARETTE LIGHTER SOCKET

To connect the transceiver to the cigarette lighter socket in your vehicle, use an optional PG-3J Cigarette Lighter cable.

When the PG-3J is connected to the cigarette lighter plug, the transceiver automatically starts charging the PB-43N Ni-MH battery pack. While you operate the transceiver, it charges the PB-43N Ni-MH battery pack in the background.

To connect with an external 24 V power source via a DC-DC converter, only use the optional PG-3J Cigarette Lighter cable. Using the PG-2W DC cable in this situation may cause a fire.
