RESETTING AND
INITIALIZING THE
SCANNER
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 500mA and its plug must cor-
rectly fit the DC 13.8 V jack on the
back of the scanner. The recom-
mended adapter meets these
specifications. using an adapter
that does not meet these specifica-
tions 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 vehi-
cle's cigarette-lighter socket.
