2.3.1.

 

When powering the ICRI with an alternate DC source or through a vehicle cigarette lighter 
jack, the cable assembly consists of three subassemblies:  (A) the universal interconnect 
cable, (B) the cigarette lighter plug/ locking in-line jack and (C) the alligator clips/locking 
in-line jack. 

FIGURE 11 and FIGURE 12. 

2.3.2.

 

After selecting the DC source connect the in-line jack to the in-line plug.  Note that the pins 
are polarized and the connection is made so that the jack’s locking “blades” slide between 
the “blades” on the plug and the body of the plug.

 

2.3.3.

 

Connect the assembled cable to the external DC source.  

 

2.3.4.

 

Connect the adapter’s plug to the jack labeled 

DC INPUT

.

 

Note:  Align the plug’s “key” with the jack’s “keyway” before attempting to insert the plug. 

2.3.5.

 

To remove the plug, hold the fluted part of the plug’s barrel and pull straight out.

 

2.3.6.

 

To separate the in-line socket, 

gently

 lift one of the blades from the plug so that the locking 

mechanism is released.  Then pull the plug and socket apart.
