USING THE ADAPTER
After you have properly adjusted the output voltage and in-
stalled the Adaptaplug, follow these steps to use your adapt-
er.
1. Insert the Adaptaplug’s tip into the DC input jack on the
device to be powered.
2. Insert the power adapter’s cigarette-lighter plug into any
DC outlet with a power rating of 12V DC.
Suitable receptacles include automobile cigarette-lighter
sockets and 12-volt power ports, portable 12-volt battery
packs, airline seats with 11 to 16V DC capabilities and
the appropriate receptacles, and solar panels with power
capabilities of 11 to 16 volts at 40 watts (minimum).
The green indicators on both the cigarette-lighter plug
and the power adapter’s case turn on when the adapter
is properly connected and the device is receiving power.
Notes:
• If the green indicator on the cigarette-lighter plug does
not light, disconnect the power adapter and check the
power source. Some automobiles require the ignition
to be turned on, or to the ACC (accessory) position to
provide power to the cigarette-lighter socket.
