11 The Basic
s
Follow these steps to use the scanner on AC power.
X Make sure the power is turned off.
Y Insert the Adaptaplug into the AC adapter's
cord so it reads TIP +. Then, insert the
Adaptaplug into the scanner's DC 6V jack.
Z Plug the AC adapter into a standard AC outlet.
Using Vehicle Battery Power
You can power the scanner from a vehicle's 12V
power source (such as a cigarette-lighter socket)
using a 6V, 300 mA DC adapter and a size B
Adaptaplug (neither supplied). Both are available at
your local RadioShack store.
Cautions:
• You must use a power source that supplies 6V DC
and delivers at least 300 mA. Its center tip must
be set to positive and its plug must fit the
scanner's DC 6V 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.
