Using Vehicle Battery Power

The supplied DC adapter lets you power your VCP and a portable TV (not supplied) from your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket.

•The VCP continues to draw a small amount of current from the vehicle’s battery even after you turn it off, so be sure to disconnect the DC adapter from the cigarette-lighter socket when you are not using the VCP and TV, to prevent your vehicle’s battery from being drained.

The DC power cord has two barrel plugs on one end and a cigarette-lighter plug on the other end. To connect DC power, plug one of the adapter’s barrel plugs into the VCP’s

jack, and plug the other into the TV’s DC 12-volt jack. Then connect the cigarette-lighter plug into the vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket.

•Before plugging the power cord’s cigarette-lighter plug into your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket, be sure the knurled ring at the plug’s tip is screwed firmly onto the plug.

•Always plug the DC adapter into the VCP and TV before you plug it into the cigarette-lighter socket. Always unplug the DC adapter from the cigarette-lighter socket before you unplug it from the VCP and TV.
