Standard AC power
Vehicle battery power (using an optional DC adapter)
The memory backup circuit begins to function a few minutes after you
connect the scanner to AC or DC power. If a power failure occurs or if
the power cord is disconnected, this circuit protects information in the
scanner's memory for about 1 hour.
Connecting AC Power
Plug the scanner's AC power cord into a standard AC outlet.
Caution:
To prevent electric shock, the plug's blades are polarized and fit
only one way. If the plug does not fit easily, turn it over and try
again. Do not force the plug into the AC outlet.
Connecting DC Power
You can power your scanner from your vehicle's cigarette-lighter socket
using a DC adapter (Radio Shack Cat. No. 270-1533).
Cautions:
The vehicle must have a 12-volt, negative ground electrical system.
You must use a DC adapter that supplies 12 volts and delivers at least
500 mA and its plug must correctly fit the DC 13.8 V jack on the back
of the scanner. The recommended adapter meets these specifications.
Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could
seriously damage the scanner or the adapter.
Insert the DC adapter's small barrel plug into the DC 13.8 V jack on
the scanner's back. Then plug the other end of the DC adapter into
your vehicle's cigarette-lighter socket.
RESETTING AND INITIALIZING THE SCANNER
If the scanner's display locks up or the scanner does not work properly
later you connect power, you might have to reset the scanner's display or
initialize the scanner.
Resetting the Scanner's Display
1. Turn off the scanner, then turn it on again.
2. Insert a pointed object, such as a straightened paper clip, into the
RESET hole on the back of the scanner.
If the scanner still does not work properly, you might have to initialize
the scanner.
Initializing the Scanner
Caution:
This procedure clears all information you programmed in the scanner's
memory. Initialize the scanner only when you are sure the scanner is
not working properly.
1. Turn off the scanner, then turn it on again.
2. Press and hold down CLEAR and insert a pointed object, such as a
straightened paper clip, into the RESET hole on the back of the
scanner.
