USING VEHICLE

BATTERY POWER

You can power the CD player from a ve- hicle’s 12V power source (such as ciga- rette-lighter socket) using a 4.5-volt, 600-mA DC adapter and a size B Adaptaplug adapter (neither supplied). Both adapters are available at your lo- cal RadioShack store.

Cautions:

You must use an adapter

!that supplies 4.5 volts DC and delivers at least 600

mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the CD player's DC IN 4.5V jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the CD player or the adapter.

•Always connect the DC adapter to the CD player before you connect it to the power source. When you fin- ish, disconnect the adapter from the power source before you discon- nect it from the CD player.
