Using Vehicle Battery Power

The supplied DC adapter lets you power
your VCP and a portable TV (not
supplied) from your vehicleÕs cigarette-
lighter socket.
Cautions:
¥ The TV you use must have a DC 12-
volt jack (with the center tip set to
positive) that accepts the adapterÕs
5.5 mm outer diameter/2.1 mm inner
diameter plug.
¥ Before plugging the power cordÕs
cigarette-lighter plug into your vehi-
cleÕs cigarette-lighter socket, be
sure the knurled ring at the plugÕs tip
is screwed firmly onto the plug.
¥ Always plug the DC adapter into the
VCP and TV before you plug it into
the cigarette-lighter socket. Always
unplug the DC adapter from the
cigarette-lighter socket before you
unplug it from the VCP and TV.
¥ The VCP continues to draw a small
amount of current from the vehicleÕs
battery even after you turn it off, so
be sure to disconnect the DC
adapter from the cigarette-lighter
socket when you are not using the
VCP and TV, to prevent your vehi-
cleÕs battery from being drained.
The DC power cord has two barrel plugs
on one end and a cigarette-lighter plug
on the other end. To connect DC power,
plug one of the adapterÕs barrel plugs
into the VCPÕs DC IN 12V jack, and plug
the other into the TVÕs DC 12-volt jack.
Then connect the cigarette-lighter plug
into the vehicleÕs cigarette-lighter socket.
