Using Your Vehicle's Battery; Restarting/Resetting The Scanner - Radio Shack REALISTIC PRO-2042 Owner's Manual

Using Your Vehicle's Battery
If your AC power does not work in an
emergency, you can power your scan¬
ner from your vehicle's cigarette lighter
socket with an optional DC cigarette
lighter power cable (not supplied).
To connect an optional DC cigarette
lighter power cable, insert its barrel
plug into the DC 13.8V jack on the back
of the scanner, then plug the power ca¬
ble into your vehicle's cigarette lighter
socket.
Caution: If you use a DC cigarette
lighter power cable with the scanner, it
must supply 12 volts and deliver at
least 1 amp. Its center tip must be set
to positive, and its plug must correctly
fit the DC 13.8V jack on the back of the
scanner. Using a power cable that
does not meet these specifications
could seriously damage the scanner or
the power cable.
Note: Mobile use of this scanner is un¬
lawful or requires a permit in some ar¬
eas. Check the laws in your area.
