The Basics
Be sure the grounding screw makes complete contact
with the metal frame of your vehicle.
3. Connect the red wire of the supplied DC power cord to
a voltage source that turns on and off with the ignition
switch, such as a spare accessory terminal in your
vehicle’s fuse box.
4. Insert the power cord’s barrel
plug into the scanner’s
DC 13.8V jack.
5. Reconnect the cable to the
negative (-) terminal of your
vehicle’s battery.
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 fi t the scanner’s DC 13.8V jack.
The supplied DC power cord meets these specifi cations.
Using a power cord that does not meet these
specifi cations 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.
When you use a cigarette-lighter adapter, you might hear
electrical noise from your engine while scanning. This is
normal.
