USING AC POWER
You can operate the HTX-200 from AC power using a regulated
power supply capable of supplying 13.8 VDC at least 1A and a
vehicle power adapter (see “Using Vehicle Battery Power” on
Page 12). The supply should also have an accessory power
socket into which the DC-to-DC power adapter fits. If your power
supply does not have an accessory power socket, you can either
wire the power cord directly to your power supply or add an ac-
cessory power socket to the supply. Suitable connectors, power
supplies, power cords, and sockets are available at your local
RadioShack store.
The following illustration shows how to connect a typical power
supply, a DC-to-DC power adapter, and the HTX-200.
USING NI-CD OR NI-MH BATTERY
POWER
You can use either Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries to power your HTX-
200; however, you cannot recharge these batteries while they are
inside the HTX-200. You can use a separate external charger for
recharging the batteries outside the radio. Your local RadioShack
store carries a selection of suitable batteries and chargers.
Note:
As these batteries provide less voltage than that typically
supplied by alkaline batteries, expect less transmitting output
power when you use the HTX-200 with Ni-Cd or Ni-MH battery
power.
