POWER SOURCES
You can power your scanner from either of these sources:
Standard AC power
Vehicle battery power using an optional DC cigarette -lighter power
cord
NOTE: If the scanner stops working properly after connecting it to power,
try resetting it.
The memory backup circuit begins to function a few minutes after
you supply power to the scanner. How long the scanner will
maintain channels stored in memory depends on how long power has
been supplied to the scanner. If power is continuously supplied
to the scanner for at least 4 days, the memory backup circuit
maintains the channels stored in memory for up to 3 months.
Using Standard AC Power
Plug the scanner's power cord into a standard AC outlet.
WARNING: Do not use the scanner's polarized plug with an extension cord,
receptacle, or other outlet unless the blades can be fully
inserted to prevent blades can be fully inserted to prevent
blade exposure.
Using Vehicle Battery Power
If your AC power does not work in an emergency, you can power your scanner
from your vehicle's cigarette-lighter socket with an optional DC
cigarette-lighter power cord such as Cat. No. 270 -1533 (not supplied).
To connect an optional DC cigarette-lighter power cord, insert its barrel
plug into the DC 13.8V jack on the back of the scanner, then plug the
power cord into your vehicle's cigarette -lighter socket.
Cautions:
If you use a DC cigarette-lighter power cord with the s canner, it must
supply at least 1 amp of vehicle power. Its center tip must be set to
positive, and its plug must correctly fit the DC 13.8 V jack on the
back of the scanner. The recommended power cord meets these
specifications. Using a power cord that does not meet these
specifications could damage the scanner or the power cord.
To protect your vehicle's electrical system, always plug the power cord
into the scanner before you plug it into your vehicle's cigarette -
lighter
socket. Always unplug the power cord from the vehicle's
cigarette-lighter socket before you unplug it from the scanner.
