Using Your Vehicle's Cigarette-Lighter Socket
You can power the SCP-103 from a vehicle’s 12V power source (such as cigarette-lighter socket) using a 3V, 300-mA DC adapter and a size H Adaptaplug® (neither supplied). Both are available at your local RadioShack store.
Cautions:
You must use a power source that supplies 3V
!DC and delivers at least 300 mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the
SCP-103's jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the SCP-103 or the adapter.
•Always connect the DC adapter to the SCP-103 before you connect it to the power source. When you finish, dis- connect the adapter from the power source before you disconnect it from the SCP-103.
Follow these steps to power the SCP-103 from your vehicle's cigarette-lighter socket.
1. Set the adapter's voltage switch to 3V.
2. Insert the Adaptaplug into the DC adapter's socket. Line up positive (+) on the plug with TIP on the socket.
