Cautions:

•Always plug the power cord into the AC IN jack before you plug it into the AC outlet, and always unplug the power cord from the AC outlet before you unplug it from the AC IN jack.

•The power cord has a polarized plug that is designed to fit into the recorder’s jack only one way. If the plug does not easily fit into the jack, do not force it. Simply turn it over and try again.

Using Vehicle Battery Power

You can power the CTR-108 from your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket using a DC adapter, such as Cat. No. 273- 1802 (not supplied).

Cautions:

•You must use a DC adapter that supplies 6 volts and delivers at least 300 milliamps. Its center tip must be set to negative, and its plug must correctly fit the CTR- 108’s DC IN 6V jack. The recom- mended adapter meets these specifications. Using an adapter that does not could damage the CTR-108 or the adapter.

•Always plug the adapter into the CTR-108 before you plug it into the cigarette-lighter socket, and always unplug the adapter from the cigarette-lighter socket before you unplug it from the CTR-108.
