Charger/Adaptor

The Magna-Mike 8600 charger/adaptor is provided with every instrument. The 
charger/adaptor is the primary method for powering the Magna-Mike 8600 with or 
without a battery installed. It is also used to charge the optional lithium-ion 
rechargeable battery when installed in the instrument. A charger/adaptor indicator 
light on the front panel of the unit displays the current status of the charger/adaptor.

To connect the charger/adaptor

1.

Connect the AC power cord to the charger/adaptor and to an appropriate power 
outlet (see Figure 1-8 on page 26).

To avoid the risk of injury or equipment damage, use only the AC power cord 
supplied with the Magna-Mike 8600. Do not use this AC power cord with other 
products.
