POWER SOURCE
DC POWER SUPPLY
A DC car cord is supplied with the unit.
The car cord has been designed for use with external DC power (12 volt with negative ground).
Plug one small plug into the DC input jack on the rear of the VCP, then plug into the one jack of the
Dual input DC car adapter (not supplied) connected to the car cigarette lighter socket. If you use a
TV with DC power, connect to another jack of a dual input DC car adapter.
Make sue that the cord makes a firm connection. It may be necessary to try several insertions,
rotating the plug for proper electrical connection.
NOTE: • ALWAYS TURN OFF VCP FIRST BEFORE SWITCH ON OR OFF THE IGNITION OF
CAR ENGINE.
• Make sure that the negative terminal of the battery is grounded.
This set is designed for use with negative ground system only.
• Use the supplied car cord only.
• When the VCP is not in use, always disconnect it from the car cigarette lighter socket to
avoid a battery drain.
• If the VCP is to be directly connected to a 12V DC power source, for example, recreational
vehicle (RV) applications, make sure the power cord is connected after the ignition switch to
avoid battery drain.
• Do not operate the VCP if the car battery is weak. Peak current from the car alternator
could blow the DC fuse.
• In case of connecting to the TV (Memorex MT1098), refer to its owner’s manual.
• Check the battery’s charge level regularly when the VCP is used in a vehicle.
