Using Vehicle Battery Power
You must use a power source that supplies
6V DC and delivers at least 100 mA. Its
center tip can be set to negative or positive
and its plug must fit the receiver's
6V DC
jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these
specifications could damage the receiver or the
adapter.
Always connect the DC adapter to the receiver
before you connect it to the power source. When you
finish, disconnect the adapter from the power source
before you disconnect it from the receiver.
Installing Batteries
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and
recommended type.
Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of
batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
If you do not plan to use the receiver with batteries for
a week or more, remove the batteries. Batteries can
leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
