Using AC Power

To power the recorder from an AC outlet, you need an AC adapter (not
supplied), such as Cat. No. 273-1456.

Insert the adapter's small plug into the recorder's DC 3V jack.  Then plug
the adapter into a standard AC outlet.

Using Your Vehicle's Battery

You can power the recorder from your vehicle's cigarette-lighter socket.
This connection requires a DC adapter, such as Cat. No. 270-1560.

Caution:  The vehicle must have a 12-volt DC, negative-ground electrical
system.

Follow these steps to power the recorder from your vehicle's cigarette
-lighter socket.

1.  Set the adapter's voltage switch to 3V.

2.  Attach the orange-rimmed plug to the DC adapter's cord with the tip
    set to negative (-).

3.  Insert the plug into the recorder's DC 3V jack.  This disconnects the
    internal batteries.

4.  Plug the adapter into the vehicle's cigarette-lighter socket.

Note:  If the recorder does not operate properly when powered from your
vehicle's battery, unplug the adapter from the cigarette-lighter socket
and clean any ashes or other debris from the socket.
