USING A VEHICLE BATTERY
With a DC adapter (such as Cat. No. 14-844, not suppli ed), you can
operate the recei ver in a car, boa t, or recreati onal vehicl e equipped
with a 12-volt DC, negative-ground electrical system.
Insert the adapter’s barrel plug into the receiver’s DC 6V jack. Set
the adapter’s 6V/9V selector to 6V. Then plug the other end of the
adapter into the vehicle’s ci garette-lighter socket. Internal batteries
automatically disconnect.
Cautions:
• The recommended adapter supplies 6 volts DC and delivers at
lea st 3 00 millia m p s with its c e n te r t ip s e t to negative. Using an
adapter that does not meet the specifications could damage
the receiver or the adapter.
• Do not let the adapter’s barrel plug contact any metal parts of
the vehicle when you plug the adapter into the lighter socket.
This can dam age t he adapt er or the v ehicle’s electrical system .
