Vehicle Adapter
The Vehicle Adapter is an optional device that supplies power from the vehicle battery to operate the
computer and charge the battery installed in the unit. It typically connects to the vehicle battery using
the cigarette lighter socket.
To prevent possible damage to the battery, the system will not allow the battery to charge at extreme
temperatures. Be aware of the following charging characteristics, especially if the computer is left
unattended in a closed vehicle.

°
C the battery will take longer to charge.
