2.Plug the adapter’s barrel plug into the scanner’s

PWR DC 9V jack.

3.Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.

Using Vehicle Power

You can power the scanner from a vehicle’s 12V power source (such as a cigarette-lighter socket) using a 9V, 300 mA DC adapter and a size H Adaptaplug (neither supplied). We recommend RadioShack Cat. No. 273- 1810 (available at your local RadioShack store).

Note: For charging batteries with an optional DC adapter from a DC power source, use RadioShack Cat. No. 273- 1825 and a size H Adaptaplug (available at your local Ra- dioShack store). Make sure the adapter’s voltage is set to 10V.

Cautions:

You must use a power source that supplies

!9V DC and delivers at least 300 mA. Its center tip must be set to negative and its

plug must fit the scanner's PWR DC 9V jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the scanner or the adapter.

•Always connect the DC adapter to the scanner before you connect it to the power source. When you finish, disconnect the adapter from the power source before you disconnect it from the scanner.

Follow these steps to connect the adapter.

1.Connect the Adaptaplug to the adapter’s cord with the tip set to negative.

2.Plug the adapter’s barrel plug into the scanner’s

PWR DC 9V jack.
