Using AC or DC Power
To prevent corruption of microSD card data, always
turn off iSCAN before connecting or disconnecting
power sources. Use the supplied USB cable to connect
the iSCAN to a USB power source, such as your
computer, or an AC or DC USB power adapter (not
included, available at
RadioShack
or
RadioShack.com).

Notes:
• Using an incompatible USB cable may damage
your scanner.
• Some USB power adapters can interfere with
iSCAN’s reception.
• If you connect iScan to a vehicle power source and the vehicle’s engine

scanning. This is normal.
