Plug
DC
power
cord into
either the 12-volt DC outlet
or
cigarette lighter
socket.
Plug
the other end into the
DC
input
socket on
your
VCP.
Do not leave
your
VCP
in
a
place
where the
tempera-
ture exceeds 70°C
(158°F),
or the
pick-up
device
may
be
damaged.
Examples
include
:
?
Inside a car
with
the
windows closed and
in
direct sunshine.
?
Near a
heating appliance.
Your VCP is
designed
for in-home or
portable
use. You can
power
it from the
cigarette lighter
socket in
your
vehicle or a 12V
(1.2A)
DC
power
source.
Your VCP and its DC
power
cord are
designed
for use
in
vehicles that have
12-volt,
negative
ground
electrical
systems. (This
is standard for
most
vehicles.)
If
your
vehicle has a different
type
of electrical
system,
the DC
power system
cannot
be used.
To
prevent
electrical shock and
possible damage
to
your
VCP or
vehicle,
always unplug
DC
power
cord from the
cigarette lighter
socket before
you
remove the
plug
from
your
VCP.
A
3
amp.
125 or 250V fuse for
protection
is installed
in
the DC
power
cord.
While the
engine
is
being
started,
disconnect the DC
power
cord from the car's
cigarette lighter
socket.
Do not
operate your
VCP when the car
battery
is
discharged.
Peak current from the car
generator may
cause the DC fuse to blow.
If
the vehicle's
supply voltage drops
below
approximately
10
volts,
your
VCP
may
not work
properly.
