(270-1560)                 Operation                  Faxback Doc. # 19694

Your Archer Universal DC Auto Adapter includes a set of 6 ADAPTA-PLUGS and
is designed to power most popular battery-operated radios, tape recorders
and players that require 3,4,5,6,7.5 or 9 volts DC and up to 300mA of
current.

FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!  BEFORE USING ADAPTER, YOU MUST SELECT THE
PROPER VOLTAGE AND TIP POLARITY.

VOLTAGE SELECTION

1.  Determine proper output voltage setting.  Check rating plate or number
    of batteries used in product:

    ┌─────────────────┬─────┬───────┬──────┬──────┬─────┐
    │  No. Batteries  │ Two │ Three │ Four │ Five │ Six │
    ├─────────────────┼─────┼───────┼──────┼──────┼─────┤
    │    Voltage      │  3  │  4.5  │   6  │ 7.5  │  9  │
    └─────────────────┴─────┴───────┴──────┴──────┴─────┘

2.  Set the voltage switch on the body of the adapter to the proper
    voltage.

    TIP POLARITY SELECTION

3.  Determine proper male coaxial connector size.  Determine required tip 
    polarity.  REVERSED POLARITY CAN RESULT IN PERMANENT DAMAGE TO SET.  

    TO change from POSITIVE TIP to NEGATIVE TIP:  Just Rotate 1/2 Turn on
    the FEMALE end of Connector.

    The Adapter may be used for POSITIVE or NEGATIVE TIP POLARITY equipment
    by removing and rotating the polarity reversal plug.

4.  Insert proper connector output ADAPTAPLUG into your set.  Plug must 
    fit snugly.

5.  Insert large plug into vehicle lighter socket.  Red LED will light to
    indicate proper operation.  If LED fails to light, see (BELOW) FUSE 
    REPLACEMENT.

6.  Turn on equipment.  If it does not operate, IMMEDIATELY disconnect and
    review the above four steps.

7.  Always remove DC Auto Adapter from lighter socket when not in use.

FUSE REPLACEMENT

To check or replace fuse, push in small metal tip at large end of Adapter
and rotate counterclockwise 90 (degrees).  Remove metal tip with fuse and
visually inspect fuse element.  If blown or if you are unsure, replace 
fuse.  REPLACE ONLY WITH 1/2 AMP FAST-BLOW TYPE FUSE, available at Radio 
Shack.
