Using Vehicle Battery Power
To power the scanner from your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter
socket, you need a DC adapter (Cat. No. 270-1560).
Cautions:
• You must use a DC adapter that supplies 9 volts and
delivers at least 200 milliamps. Its center tip must be
set to negative, and its plug must correctly fit the
scanner’s
PWR/DC
9V
jack. The recommended
adapter meets these specifications. Using an
adapter that does not meet these specifications
could damage the scanner or the adapter.
• To protect your vehicle’s electrical system, always
plug the adapter into the scanner before you plug it
into your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket. Always
unplug the adapter from the vehicle’s cigarette-
lighter socket before you unplug it from the scanner.
1. Connect the DC adapter’s supplied 1.3 mm inner
diameter/3.4 mm outer diameter barrel plug to the
cable, with the tip set to – (negative).
2. Set the adapter’s voltage switch to
9V
.
3. Insert the barrel plug into the scanner’s
PWR/DC 9V
jack.
4. Plug the other end of the adapter into your vehicle’s
cigarette-lighter socket.
