Using Vehicle Battery Power

To power the Micro-35 from your vehicle’s
battery, you need a DC adapter (not sup-
plied), such as Cat. No. 273-1801.

Cautions:

• You must use a DC adapter that sup-

plies 3 volts DC power and delivers at
least 200 milliamps. The center tip of
its barrel plug must be set to positive,
and the plug must properly fit the
Micro-35’s 

DC3V

 jack. The recom-

mended DC adapter meets these
specifications. Using a DC adapter
that does not meet these specifica-
tions could damage the Micro-35 or
the DC adapter.

• Always plug the DC adapter into the

Micro-35 before you plug it into the
cigarette-lighter socket, and unplug
the adapter from the cigarette-lighter
socket before you unplug it from the
Micro-35.
