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.
