surroundings which could result quickly from improper use and function.
The center pin of the DC IN jack is positive (+) polarity and 2.5mm in diameter.
The outer diameter of the DC IN jack is 5.5mm, having a negative (-) polarity.
Optional cables such as Tactic’s TACP0101 can connect the monitor to a DC

A cable is included to connect an external power source to the DC IN jack. A separate adapter is also
included to mate the DC IN jack to cables having smaller connectors.
