PREPARATION
POWER SOURCES
Using AC Power
You can power the scanner using a supplied AC adaptor.
Cautions:
! You must use a supplied AC adaptor.
• Always connect the AC adaptor to the scanner before you connect it to AC
power. When you finish, disconnect the adaptor from AC power before you
disconnect it from the scanner.
• The correct orientation for the enclosed power adaptor is in a vertical or
floor-mount position.
To power the scanner using an AC adaptor, connect the plug into the scanner’s
DC 9V jack. Then connect the AC adaptor to a standard AC outlet.
Using Vehicle Battery Power
You can power the scanner from a vehicle’s 12V power source (such as ciga-
rette-lighter socket) using a 9VDC at least 400-mA adaptor with 4.75mm outer/
1.7mm inner plug. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the
scanner’s DC 9V jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifica-
tions could damage the scanner or the adaptor.
Cautions: Always connect the DC adaptor to the scanner before you connect
it to the power source. When you finish, disconnect the adaptor from the power
source before you disconnect it from the scanner.
To power the scanner using a DC adaptor, connect the plug into the scanner’s
DC 9V jack. Plug the other end of the DC adaptor into your vehicle’s cigarette-
lighter socket.
Note: If you use a cigarette-lighter DC 9V adaptor and your vehicle’s engine is
running, you might hear electrical noise from the engine while scanning. This is
normal.
WARNING: To prevent electric shock, do not use the AC adaptor’s polar-
ized plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless you
can fully insert the blades to prevent blade exposure.
