Radio Shack HTX-200 - Manual (Page 12)

12
USING VEHICLE BATTERY POWER
You can power the HTX-200 from a vehicle’s 12V power source
(such as cigarette-lighter socket) using an 9-volt, 900 mA DC-to-
DC power adapter and a size I Adaptaplug
® (neither supplied)
with TIP set to +. Both are available at your local RadioShack
store.
Cautions:
You must use a power source that supplies 9V DC
and delivers at least 900 mA. Its center tip must
be set to positive and its plug must fit the HTX-
200's DC 9V jack. Using an adapter that does not meet
these specifications could damage the HTX-200 or the
adapter.
• Always connect the DC adapter to the HTX-200 before you
connect it to the power source. When you finish, disconnect
the adapter from the power source before you disconnect it
from the HTX-200.
Follow these steps to operate the HTX-200 from a vehicle’s bat-
tery power.
1. Insert the Adaptaplug into the HTX-200’s DC 9V jack.
2. Plug the other end of the adapter into the cigarette-lighter
socket in the vehicle.
