Powering Your Scanner

You can power your scanner from a wall outlet, or from your vehicle’s battery.

You must use a power source that supplies 12V DC and delivers at least 600 mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the scanner’s DC 13.8V jack. The supplied AC adapter and DC power cord meet these specifications. Using a power source that does not meet these specifications could damage the scanner or the adapter.

Wall Outlet

1.Connect the tip of the supplied AC adapter to the DC 13.8V jack at the rear of your scanner.

2.Plug the AC adapter into your wall outlet.

To prevent electric shock, do not use the AC adapter’s polarized plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or outlet unless you can fully insert the blades to prevent blade exposure.

To avoid injury, do not connect the provided power adapter to a ceiling outlet.
