Desktop Installation
You can place this scanner on a desk, shelf, or table to use it as
a base station.
1. Flip up the feet for desk installation.

Applying Power Using Standard AC Power
To power the scanner from an AC outlet, use the provided AC adapter with a 5.5 mm outer
diameter/2.1mm inner diameter tip.
Caution: You must use a Class 2 power source that supplies 13.8 V DC and delivers at
least 700 mA. The cord connector’s center tip must be set to positive and its plug
must fit the scanner’s DC 13.8 V jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these
specifications could damage the scanner or the adapter.
• Always connect the AC adapter to the scanner before you connect it to AC power. When
you finish, disconnect the adapter from the AC power before you disconnect it from
the scanner.
1. Insert the adapter’s barrel plug into the DC
13.8 V jack on the back of the scanner.
2. Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.
Note: Use only the AC adapter supplied with
your scanner.
Connecting an External Speaker

Note: Connecting an external speaker
disconnects the scanner’s
internal speaker.
Connecting an Earphone
For private listening, you can connect an
earphone with a 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) plug to the
EXT. SP. jack on the back of the scanner. Be very careful as damage to your hearing
can result if the VOLUME control is not set to the lowest level first. See below for
"Listening Safely" instructions. (Your local electronics store should carry a wide selection of
earphones.) Once the earphone is connected, it will automatically disconnects the internal
speaker.
