(Radio Shack

Battery:
If
your
vehicle
has
'a
12-volt, negative
ground
electrical
system,
you
can provide
power
to
your recorder
from your
car battery.
Use our

adapter (14-844D),
Set the switch
on
the adapter
to
the

position
and connect
it

you must
be
sure that
the

that the
center terminal of the

is
negative. Failure to
observe
these
two
vital
points
may
result
in
damage
to
your recorder and/or adapter.
