FEATURES
Your RadioShack 12-Volt • 10-Amp Regulated Power Supply is de-
signed to power equipment that requires 12V DC automotive pow-
er. The power supply converts standard 120V AC household power
to 13.8V DC power and can supply up to 10 amps of continuous
power.
Note: Your vehicle’s 12-volt 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
station, check the operation of autosound systems before you in-
stall 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, scanners, ham radios, CD players, tape players, cellular
phones, or anything you would power with a vehicle’s DC electrical
system.
Electronic Overload Protection — automatically lowers output
voltage if the device you are trying to power draws too much cur-
rent.
Binding Post Terminals — let you connect a device that requires
input power from positive and negative wires.
Cigarette-Lighter Socket — lets you connect a device that is de-
signed to be powered from a cigarette-lighter socket.
