POWER SOURCES
Using AC Power
You can power the scanner using the
supplied 12V, 300mA AC adapter.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2 power
source that supplies 12V DC
and delivers at least 300 mA.
Its center tip must be set to positive and
its plug must fit the scanner's
DC12V
jack. The supplied adapter meets these
specifications. Using an adapter that
does not meet these specifications
could damage the scanner or the
adapter.
• Always connect the AC adapter to the
scanner before you connect it to AC
power. When you finish, disconnect the
adapter from AC power before you
disconnect it from the scanner.
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.
Follow these steps to power the scanner
from a standard AC outlet.
1. Insert the AC adapter’s barrel plug into
the
DC12V
jack on the back of the
scanner.
2. Plug the adapter into a standard AC
outlet.
Using Vehicle Battery Power
You can power the scanner from a vehicle’s
12V power source (such as cigarette-lighter
socket) using a 12V, 300-mA DC cord and a
size M Adaptaplug™ connector (neither
supplied). Both are available at your local
RadioShack store.
Cautions:
You must use a power cord
that can carry 12V DC and at
least 300 mA. Its center tip
must be set to positive and its plug must
fit the scanner's
DC12V
jack. Using an
cord that does not meet these
specifications could damage the
scanner or the cord.
• Always connect the DC cord to the
scanner before you connect it to the
power source. When you finish,
disconnect the cord from the power
source before you disconnect it from the
scanner.
Follow these steps to power the scanner
from a vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket.
1. Connect the adaptaplug connector to
the DC cord so the tip reads positive (
+
).
2. Insert the DC cord’s barrel plug into the
DC12V
jack on the back of the scanner.
