Using AC Power

To power the recorder from standard
AC power, plug the supplied AC pow-
er cord into the
AC POWER 120V
on the right side of the recorder.
Then plug the other end into a stan-
dard AC outlet.

Caution: Always plug the AC power
cord into the
AC POWER 120V
before you plug it into an AC outlet,
and always unplug the AC power
cord from the AC outlet before you
unplug it from the
jack.
Note: The recorder automatically
disconnects internal batteries when
you connect the AC power cord.

Using Vehicle Battery Power

You can also power the recorder
from your vehicle's battery using an
auto DC adapter (such as Radio
Shack Cat. No. 14-844, not supplied)
that connects to your vehicle's ciga-
rette lighter socket.

AC POWER 120V
Cautions:
• The recommended DC adapter
supplies 6 volts and delivers at
least 300 milliamps. Its center tip
is set to negative, and its plug
correctly fits the recorder's
jack. Using an adapter that
6V
does not meet these specifica-
tions could seriously damage
the recorder or the adapter.
• Always plug the adapter into the
recorder before you plug it into
the cigarette-lighter socket, and
always unplug the adapter from
the cigarette-lighter
before you unplug it from the
recorder.
1. Set the DC adapter's voltage
switch to 6V.

2. Insert the DC adapter's black-
tipped barrel plug into the adapter's
cord so it reads TIP-NEG.
