The Basics 10
using AC power
You can power the scanner using a 6V, 300 mA AC
adapter and a size B Adaptaplug™ adapter (neither
supplied). Both are available at your local
RadioShack store.
Cautions:
• You must use a Class 2 power source that
supplies 6V DC and delivers at least 300 mA.
Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug
must fit the scanner's DC 6V jack. Using an
adapter that does not meet these specifications
could damage the scanner or the adapter.
• Always connect the AC adapter to the scanner
before you connect it to AC power. When you
finish, disconnect the adapter from AC power
before you disconnect it from the scanner.
Follow these steps to use the scanner on AC power.
Make sure the power is turned off.
Insert the Adaptaplug into the AC adapter's
cord so it reads TIP +. Then, insert the
Adaptaplug into the scanner's DC 6V jack.
Plug the AC adapter into a standard AC outlet.
