USING VEHICLE BATTERY
POWER
You can power the TRC-239 from a vehicle’s 12V
power source (such as cigarette-lighter socket) using
a fused DC power cord that ends in a size M Adapta-
plug
®
adapter (neither supplied). Both are available
at your local RadioShack store.
Cautions:
You must use a power source that
supplies 13.8 volts (12-volt nominal) at
1300 mA. Its center tip must be set to
positive and its plug must fit the TRC-239's
POWER
jack. Using a power source that does
not meet these specifications could damage the
TRC-239 or the power cord.
• Always connect the fused power cord to the
TRC-239 before you connect it to the power
source. When you finish, disconnect the fused
power cord from the power source before you
disconnect it from the TRC-239.
If batteries are installed, make sure
NI/AL
inside the
battery compartment is set to the correct position
(see “Using Batteries” on Page 7).
