Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the scanner or the adapter. • Always connect the AC or DC adapter to the scanner before you connect it to AC power or power source. When you finish, disconnect the adapter from AC power or the power source before you disconnect it from the scanner. Ô NOTE Ô If the scanner does not operate properly when you connect a DC adapter, unplug the DC adapter from the power source and clean the socket, or check the adapter's internal fuse. 1. Connect the Adaptaplug to the adapter's cord with the tip set to positive.  2. Plug the adapter's barrel plug into the scanner's PWR DC 9V jack. 3. Plug the adapter's two-prong plug into an 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 9V, 300 mA DC adapter and a size B Adaptaplug™ adapter (neither supplied). Both are available at your local RadioShack store.  1. Connect the Adaptaplug to the adapter's cord with the tip set to positive. 2. Plug the adapter's barrel plug into the scanner's PWR DC 9V jack. 3. Plug the adapter's cigarettelighter plug into your 12V power source.
