Powering Your Scanner; Wall Outlet; Vehicle (Power Socket) - Radio Shack PRO-652 User Manual

Powering Your Scanner

You can power your scanner from a wall outlet, or from your vehicle's
battery.
You must use a power source that supplies 12V DC and delivers at
least 600 mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must
fit the scanner's DC 13.8V jack. The supplied AC adapter and DC
power cord meet these specifications. Using a power source that
does not meet these specifications could damage the scanner or the
adapter.

Wall Outlet

1. Connect the tip of the supplied AC adapter to the DC 13.8V jack
at the rear of your scanner.
2. Plug the AC adapter into your wall outlet.
To prevent electric shock, do not use the AC adapter's polarized
plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or outlet unless you can fully
insert the blades to prevent blade exposure.
Note: To avoid injury, do not connect the provided power adapter to
a ceiling outlet.

Vehicle (Power Socket)

To power your scanner from a 12V power source in your vehicle, such
as a cigarette-lighter socket, you need a 12V, 600 mA DC cigarette-
lighter adapter (not supplied), available at your local RadioShack
store.
1. Insert the adapter's barrel plug into the scanner's DC 13.8V jack.
2. Plug the adapter's other end into your vehicle's cigarette lighter
or power socket.
Note: When you use a cigarette-lighter adapter, you might hear
electrical noise from your engine while scanning. This is normal. This
is less of a problem if you connect directly to the vehicle fuse box.
