FEATURES

Your RadioShack Regulated 3-Amp DC Power Supply is designed
to power equipment that requires 12V DC automotive power. The
power supply converts standard 120V AC household power to
13.8V DC power and can supply up to 3 amps of continuous power.

Note: Your vehicle’s electrical system provides 13.8 Volts when the
engine is running.

If you are an electronic hobbyist or technician, you will appreciate
the many uses for the power supply at your workbench or in your
house. For example, use your CB mobile transceiver as a base sta-
tion, check the operation of autosound systems before you install
them in your vehicle, or even power marine equipment such as
pumps.

Your power supply’s features include:

Regulated Output Voltage — makes it safe to use with mobile
CBs, Ham radios, CD players, tape players or anything you would
power with a vehicle’s DC electrical system.

Electronic Overload Protection — automatically shuts off stan-
dard 120V AC input power to the power supply when its output is
overloaded.

Warning: To prevent fire or shock hazard,
do not expose this power supply to rain or
moisture

.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.

DO NOT OPEN.

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE
COVER OR BACK. NO USER-SERVICE-
ABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING
TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
