recharging the batteries, but
charging takes longer.
USING AC POWER
You can power the scanner using
a 6V, 300-mA AC adapter and a
size B Adaptaplug™ adapter
(neither supplied). Both are
available at your local RadioShack
store.
To power the scanner using an AC
adapter, attach the Adaptaplug to
the AC adapter so the tip reads
positive (+), then insert the
Adaptaplug into the scanner’s
PWR DC 6V jack. Connect the
other end of the adapter to a
standard AC outlet.
USING A 12V POWER
SOURCE
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.
To power the scanner using a DC
adapter, attach the Adaptaplug to
the DC adapter so the tip reads
positive (+), set the adapter’s
voltage switch to 6V, then insert
the Adaptaplug into the scanner’s
PWR DC 6V jack. Plug the other
end of the DC adapter into your
vehicle’s cigarette-lighter
socket.Ô
CAUTION
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
PWR DC 6V jack. Using
an adapter that does no
t
meet these
specifications could
damage the scanner or
the adapter.
!
Ô NOTES Ô
If you use a cigarette-
lighter power cable and
your vehicle’s engine is
running, you might hear
electrical noise from the
engine while scanning.
This is normal.
