USING YOUR VEHICLE'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

You can power the SW-100 from your vehicle's 12V electrical system.  This
connection requires a 9-volt DC adapter, such as Radio Shack Cat. No.
273-1802.

CAUTIONS:  The vehicle must have a 12-volt DC negative-ground electrical
           system.

           The recommended adapter supplies 9-volts DC power.  Its center
           tip is set to negative, and its plug properly fits the radio's
           DC 9V jack.  Using an adapter that does not meet these
           specifications could damage the SW-100.

Follow these steps to power the SW-100 from your vehicle's electrical 
system.

1.  Set the adapter's voltage switch to 9v.

2.  Plug the 9V DC adapter into the SW-100's DC 9V jack.  This disconnects
    the internal batteries.

    CAUTION:  Always plug the adapter into the SW-100 before you plug it
              into the cigarette-lighter socket, and always unplug the
              adapter from the cigarette-lighter socket before you unplug
              it from the SW-100. Otherwise, the unconnected plug might
              touch a metal object and damage the adapter or the vehicle's
              electrical system.

3.  Plug the adapter into the vehicle's cigarette-lighter socket.

AC POWER

Follow these steps to use AC power.

1.  Set AC/DC to AC.

2.  Connect the supplied AC power cord into a standard AC outlet.  This 
    automatically disconnects the batteries.  

NOTE:  Remove the batteries if you plan to use an optional power source.
