Using AC or DC Power
You can power the radio using a 4.5V,
150mA AC or DC adapter and a size M
Adaptaplug™ adapter (neither supplied).
Both are available at your local RadioShack
store.
Cautions:
You must use a (Class 2 for
AC power) power source that
supplies 4.5V DC and deliv-
ers at least 150 mA. Its center tip must
be set to positive and its plug must fit
the radio's 4.5V jack. Using an adapter
that does not meet these specifications
could damage the radio or the adapter.
• Always connect the adapter to the radio
before you connect it to power. When
you finish, disconnect the adapter from
power before you disconnect it from the
radio.
• To use DC power, your vehicle must
have a 12-volt DC, negative-ground
electrical system.
Note: Connecting an adapter automatically
disconnects internal batteries.
1. If necessary, set the adapter’s voltage
switch to 4.5V.
