USING VEHICLE BATTERY
POWER
You can power the CD player from your
vehicle’s battery power with the supplied
DC adapter.
Cautions:
You must use a power
source that supplies 4.5
volts DC and delivers at
least 600 mA. Its center tip must be
set to positive and its plug must fit
the CD player’s
DC IN 4.5V
jack. The
supplied adapter meets these speci-
fications. Using an adapter that
does not meet these specifications
could damage the CD player or the
adapter.
When you finish using the CD
player, always unplug the DC
adapter from the cigarette-lighter
socket before you disconnect it from
your CD player.
Follow these steps to connect the CD
player to your vehicle’s battery power.
1. Insert the DC adapter’s barrel plug
into the CD player’s
DC IN 4.5V
jack.
2. Make sure the DC adapter’s tip is
screwed in tightly, then plug the DC
adapter’s other end into your vehi-
cle’s cigarette-lighter socket.
Note:
If the CD player does not operate
when you use the DC adapter, unplug
the cord from the cigarette-lighter socket
and clean any ashes or debris from the
socket.
USING AC POWER
You can power the CD player from a
4.5V, 600 mA AC adapter and a size B
Adaptaplug
®
(neither supplied). Both are
available at your local RadioShack
store.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2
power source that supplies
4.5 volts DC and delivers at
least 600 mA. Its center tip must be
set to positive and its plug must fit
the CD player’s
DC IN 4.5V
jack. The
recommended adapter meets these
specifications. Using an adapter that
does not meet these specifications
could damage the CD player or the
adapter.
When you finish using the AC
adapter, unplug it from the AC outlet
first, then disconnect it from the CD
player.
Follow these steps to connect the CD
player to AC power.
1. Insert the size B Adaptaplug adapter
into the AC adapter’s cord so it
reads TIP + (positive).
