CONNECTING POWER
You can power the recorder from any of
three power sources:
• Standard AC power (with the sup-
plied power cord)
• Internal batteries
• Your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter
socket (with an optional DC adapter)
Note
: Connecting the power cord or a
DC adapter disconnects the internal bat-
teries.
Using AC Power
To power the recorder from standard AC
power, plug the supplied power cord into
the
AC IN
jack on the side of the record-
er. Then plug the other end into a stan-
dard AC outlet.
Warning:
The power cord has a polar-
ized plug that is designed to fit into the
recorder’s jack and a standard AC outlet
only one way. If the plug does not easily
fit into the jack and AC outlet, do not
force either plug. Simply turn it over and
try again.
Caution:
Always plug the power cord
into the
AC IN
jack before you plug it into
the AC outlet, and always unplug the
power cord from the AC outlet before
you unplug it from the
AC IN
jack.
Using Internal Batteries
You can power the recorder from four C
batteries (not supplied). For the best
performance and longest life, we recom-
mend RadioShack alkaline batteries.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the
required size and recommended
type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries,
different types of batteries (stan-
dard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different
capacities.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
1. Press down on the battery compart-
ment cover and slide it off in the
direction of the arrow on the cover.
2. Install the batteries in the compart-
ment as indicated by the polarity
symbols (+ and –) marked inside.
3. Replace the cover.
