Radio Shack DX-396 - Manual (Page 6)

6
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2
power source that supplies
3V DC and delivers at least
300 mA. Its center tip must be set to
positive and its plug must fit the re-
ceiver's
DC 3V jack. Using an adapt-
er that does not meet these
specifications could damage the re-
ceiver or the adapter.
• Always connect the AC adapter to
the receiver before you connect it to
AC power. When you finish, discon-
nect the adapter from AC power
before you disconnect it from the
receiver.
• If you disconnect power from the
receiver for about 30 seconds, all
information stored in memory will be
lost. However, if you disconnect the
AC adapter plug from the receiver’s
DC 3V jack and have batteries
installed, the memory stays intact.
Follow these steps to power the receiver
from AC power.
1. Connect the Adaptaplug to the
adapter’s cord with the TIP set to
+POS.
2. Insert the barrel plug into the
receiver’s DC 3V jack. This discon-
nects the internal batteries.
3. Plug the adapter into a standard AC
outlet.
Using Vehicle Battery Power
You can power the receiver from a vehi-
cle’s 12V power source (such as ciga-
rette-lighter socket) using a 3V, 300-mA
DC adapter and a size H Adaptaplug
(neither supplied). Both are available at
your local RadioShack store.
