Using Vehicle Battery Power

You can power the CD-3322 from your vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket by converting your vehicle’s DC power to 115V AC using an optional DC-to-AC inverter, such as RadioShack Cat. No. 22-132.

Follow the instructions included with the inverter to connect it to your vehi- cle’s cigarette lighter socket. Then plug the CD-3322’s power cord into AC IN- PUT and plug the other end into the AC outlet on the inverter.

Caution: Always plug the power cord into the CD-3322 before you plug it into the inverter. Always unplug the power cord from the inverter before you un- plug it from the CD-3322.

Note: If the CD-3322 hums when you turn it off while using vehicle battery power, this is not a malfunction. Simply unplug the inverter from your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket.
