3.Replace the cover.
Cautions:
•If you will not be using the receiver with battery power for several months, remove the batteries.
•Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.
Using Standard AC Power
To power the receiver from standard AC power, you need an optional AC adapter, such as Cat. No.
Note: Connecting an AC adapter dis- connects internal batteries.
Caution: You must use a
!Class 2 power source that supplies 6 volts DC and deliv-
ers at least 300 mA. Its center tip must be set to negative and its plug must fit the receiver's DC IN 6V jack. The rec- ommended adapter meets these specifications. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the receiver or the adapter.
