USING VEHICLE
BATTERY POWER
You can power your CD player from
your vehicle’s battery using a DC
adapter, such as Cat. No. 273-1801
(not supplied).
Cautions:
• You must use a DC adapter that
supplies 6 volts and delivers at
least 550 milliamps. Its center tip
must be set to positive, and its
plug must correctly fit the CD
player’s
DC IN 6V
jack. The recom-
mended adapter meets these
specifications. Using an adapter
that does not meet these specifi-
cations can damage the CD
player or the adapter.
• Disconnect the adapter from the
cigarette-lighter socket when you
are not using it to prevent the
vehicle’s battery from being
drained.
• Always disconnect the adapter
from the cigarette-lighter socket
before you unplug it from the CD
player.
• If you park your vehicle in the sun,
temperatures inside can easily
reach levels that could damage
your CD player and your CDs. To
prevent heat damage, avoid leav-
ing your CD player or CDs in your
vehicle.
Follow these steps to use your vehi-
cle’s battery power.
1. Attach the 4.0 mm outer diameter/
1.7 mm inner diameter barrel plug
to the adapter cord, matching the
positive (+) on the plug with TIP
on the cord.
2. Set the adapter’s voltage switch to
6V.
3. Insert the adapter’s barrel plug
into the CD player’s
DC IN 6V
jack.
Note:
Battery power disconnects
when you connect a DC adapter
to the CD player (unless you are
using nickel-cadmium battery
packs).
4. Plug the other end of the adapter
into your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter
socket.
