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 DC power cord meets these speciﬁcations. Using a power cord that does not meet these speciﬁcations could damage the scanner or the adapter.

from your vehicle’s cigarrette lighter

To power your scanner from a 12V power source in your vehicle, such as a cigarette-lighter socket, you need a 12V, 600 mA DC cigarette-lighter adapter (not supplied), available at your local RadioShack store.

1.Insert the adapter’s barrel plug into the scanner’s DC 13.8V jack.

2.Plug the adapter’s other end into your vehicle’s cigarette lighter or power socket.

Note	When you use a cigarette-lighter adapter, you might hear
	electrical noise from your engine while scanning. This is
	normal.
