Using the DC Power Cord
1. The DC version of the PIX-21 is meant to be used only in motor
vehicles with a 12-volt negative ground electrical system.
2. Power to the cigarette lighter should be present with the ignition key in
the “off” position. If this is not known, it can be easily determined by
plugging in the PIX-21 power cord and observing the LED in the
cigarette lighter plug. If power is not present, the internal lithium battery
will be prematurely depleted.
3. If the vehicle will not be used for more than one week, we recommend
that the PIX-21 be removed from the vehicle and powered using the
optional AC adapter. Use with the AC adapter will prevent premature
depletion of the internal lithium battery. The lithium battery maintains the
PIX-21 memory only for brief periods, such as a power failure or during
relocation of the unit.
