To use AC power, connect the AC adapter’s
barrel plug to the VCP’s
DC IN 12V jack, then
plug the AC adapter’s power cord into a
standard AC outlet.
Using Vehicle Battery
Power
The supplied DC adapter lets you power
your VCP and a portable TV (not supplied)
from your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket.
Cautions:
The TV you use must have a
DC 12-volt jack (with the
center tip set to positive) that
accepts the adapter’s 5.5 mm outer
diameter/2.1 inner diameter plug.
• Before plugging the power cord’s
cigarette-lighter plug into your vehicle’s
cigarette-lighter socket, be sure the
knurled ring at the plug’s tip is screwed
firmly onto the plug.
• Always plug the DC adapter into the
VCP and TV before you plug it into the
cigarette-lighter socket. Always unplug
the DC adapter from the
cigarette-lighter socket before you
unplug it from the VCP and TV.
• The VCP continues to draw a small
amount of current from the vehicle’s
battery even after you turn it off, so be
sure to disconnect the DC adapter from
the cigarette-lighter socket when you
are not using the VCP and TV, to
prevent your vehicle’s battery from
being drained.
The DC power cord has two barrel plugs on
one end and a cigarette-lighter plug on the
other end. To connect DC power, plug one
of the adapter’s barrel plugs into the VCP’s
DC IN 12V jack, and plug the other into the
TV’s DC 12-volt jack. Then connect the
cigarette-lighter plug into the vehicle’s
cigarette-lighter socket.
Note: If the DC adapter does not provide
power, check the fuse. See “Replacing the
Fuse” on Page 22.
