High-Current Power Adapter
(270-1562)                 Operation                  Faxback Doc. # 19695

Your High-Current Power Adapter includes four popular-size coaxial plugs
and is designed to operate most large portable tape recorders, CD players,
radios, walkie-talkies and many portable TVs and VCRs that require 3,6,9,
or 12 volts.

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 (2 batteries = 3 volts; 4 batteries = 6
    volts; 6 batteries = 9 volts; 8 batteries = 12 volts).

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

TIP POLARITY SELECTION

1.  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.

    Line up appropriate polarity mark on coaxial plug with the word "TIP"
    on sleeve, then force home.

2.  Insert proper connector output plug into your set.  Plug must fit
    snugly.

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

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

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 3 AMP FAST-BLOW TYPE FUSE, available at Radio
Shack.
