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 Ra-
dioShack store). Make sure the adapter's voltage is set to
10V.
Cautions:
You must use a power source that supplies
!
9V DC and delivers at least 300 mA. Its
center tip must be set to negative and its
plug must fit the scanner's
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.
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
jack.
