The Basics

using vehicle battery power

You can power the scanner from a vehicle’s 12V power source (such as cigarette-lighter socket) using a 9V, 300 mA DC adapter and a size C Adaptaplug™ adapter (neither supplied). Both are available at your local RadioShack store.

Notes

You must use a power source that supplies 9V DC and delivers at least 300 mA. Its center tip must be set to positive 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.

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

2.Plug the adapter’s barrel plug into the scanner’s PWR DC 9V jack.

3.Plug the adapter’s cigarette-lighter plug into your 12V power source.

If the scanner does not operate properly when you

Notes

connect a DC adapter, unplug the DC adapter from the

power source and clean the socket, or check the adapter’s internal fuse.

connecting an earphone/headphones

For private listening, you can plug an 1/8-inch (3.5 mm) mini-plug earphone or headphones (not supplied), available at your local RadioShack store, in the jack on top of your scanner. This automatically disconnects the internal speaker.
