Universal AC/DC Adapter AH3WH/AH5WH User's Guide The RCA brand Universal AC/DC Adapter allows you to power portable devices requiring 300mA or less (AH3WH) or 500mA or less (AH5WH) using a conventional AC electrical outlet. Instructions: 1. Set the voltage selector switch to the proper setting for your device. Refer to the device's user manual for the correct voltage requirement, or determine the voltage by multiplying the number of AA, AAA, C, or D batteries required by 1.5-for example, 4 batteries x 1.5m = 6 volts. Note: Voltage setting may also be found next to the DC jack or on device information plate. 2. Select the adapter plug tip that best fits device. 3. Before inserting the plug tip into the AC adapter receptacle, you must first determine the correct polarity of your device. Polarity is represented by the following symbols. Note: Polarity information may be found next to the DC jack, user manual, or device information plate. The adapter plug tips have a positive (+) symbol on one side and a negative (-) symbol on the other side. The AC adapter receptacle says "TIP" on one side. 4. If your device has positive polarity, align the word "Tip" on the AC adapter receptacle with the (+) symbol on the adapter plug tip. See diagram below. If your device has negative polarity, align the word "Tip" on the AC adapter receptacle with the (-) symbol on the adapter plug tip. See diagram below. 5. Connect adapter plug tip into DC jack of your device.
