USING VEHICLE BATTERY 
POWER
Using a DC adapter, such as Cat. No. 270-1560A,
you can power the recorder from your vehicle’s bat-
tery.
Cautions:
• You must use an adapter that supplies 3 volts
with the center tip set to positive, delivers the
300 milliamps the recorder draws, and has a
plug that correctly fits the recorder’s 
DC 3V
 jack.
The recommended adapter meets these require-
ments. Using an adapter that does not meet
these specifications could damage the recorder
or the adapter.
• Always plug the adapter into the recorder before
plugging it into the cigarette-lighter socket.
Always unplug the adapter from the cigarette-
lighter socket before unplugging it from the
recorder.
