Power your scanner, From a wall outlet | Radio Shack PRO-2096

The Basics

step 2: power your scanner

You can power your scanner from a wall outlet, through your vehicle’s ignition, or from your vehicle’s cigarette lighter.

from a 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.

Note

You must use a Class 2 power source that supplies 13.8V DC and delivers at least 600mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must ﬁt the scanner’s DC 13.8V jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these speciﬁcations could damage the scanner or the adapter.

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

through your vehicle’s ignition

1.Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) terminal of your vehicle’s battery.

2.Ground the black wire of the supplied DC power cord to your vehicle’s chassis.
