Ac Adapter; Dc Power Cable - Radio Shack PRO-652 User Manual

AC Adapter

You must use a power source that supplies 12-14.4
VDC and is rated for 600 mA. Its center tip must be
set to positive and its plug must fit the scanner's DC
13.8V jack. The supplied DC power adapter meets
these specifications. Using a DC adapter that does
not meet these specifications could damage the
scanner or the adapter.
To Connect the AC Adapter
1. Plug the
supplied
AC adapter
into the DC
13.8V jack.
2. Plug the AC
adapter into your wall outlet.
WARNING: To prevent electric shock, do not use
the AC adapter's polarized plug with an extension
cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless you can fully
insert the blades to prevent blade exposure.

DC Power Cable

Connect the supplied DC power cable to a vehicle
power source:
1. Disconnect your battery's negative (-) terminal.
NOTE: Disconnecting your battery may reset some
devices in your vehicle, such as automotive audio
systems, navigation systems, or alarm systems.
2. Route the suppled DC power cord between a
power source and the mounting location for
your scanner.
3. Ground the power cord's black wire to your
vehicle's chassis.
NOTE: The grounding screw must make complete
contact with the metal frame of your vehicle.
4. Connect the power cord's red wire to a voltage
source that turns on and off with the ignition
switch, such as a spare accessory terminal in
your vehicle's fuse box.
5. Insert the power plug into the DC power jack on
the rear of the radio.
6. Reconnect the cable to the negative (-) terminal
of your vehicle's battery.
NOTE: If your vehicle's engine is running, you might
hear electrical noise from the engine while scanning.
This is normal.
WARNING: The DC power cord is equipped with
an inline fuse. This fuse protects your scanner and
your vehicle from damage in case of equipment
malfunction or a short circuit. Do not remove the
inline fuse holder from the DC power cord. If the
fuse blows, replace it with a 2A fuse and apply power
again. If the fuse blows again, check all wiring for
short circuits, and check the radio for a malfunction.
