Preparation
2. Plug the adapter’s barrel plug into the scanner’s
PWR
DC
9V
jack.
3. Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.
Using Vehicle Power
You can power the scanner from a vehicle’s 12V power
source (such as a cigarette-lighter socket) using a 9V,
300 mA DC adapter and a size H Adaptaplug (neither
supplied). We recommend RadioShack Cat. No. 273-
1810 (available at your local RadioShack store).
Note:
For charging batteries with an optional DC adapter
from a DC power source, use RadioShack Cat. No. 273-
1825 and a size H Adaptaplug (available at your local
RadioShack store). Make sure the adapter’s voltage is
set to 10V.
Cautions:
You must use a power source that sup-
plies 9V DC and delivers at least 300 mA.
Its center tip must be set to negative and
its plug must fit the scanner's
PWR
DC
9V
jack. Us-
ing an adapter that does not meet these specifica-
tions 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.
Follow these steps to connect the adapter.
1. Connect the Adaptaplug to the adapter’s cord with
the tip set to negative.
2. Plug the adapter’s barrel plug into the scanner’s
PWR
DC
9V
jack.
