• Always plug the AC adapter into the

recorder before you plug it into the

AC outlet. Always unplug the AC

adapter from the outlet before you

unplug it from the recorder.

Using Vehicle Battery Power

The supplied DC adapter lets you power

your VCP and a portable TV (not sup-

plied) from your vehicle’s cigarette lighter

socket.

Cautions

:

• The TV you use must have a DC 12-

volt jack (with the center tip set to

positive) that accepts the adapter’s

plug (5.5 x 2.1 mm (depth/diame-

ter)).

• Always plug the DC adapter into the

VCP and TV before you plug it into

the cigarette lighter socket. Always

unplug the DC adapter from the cig-

arette lighter socket before you

unplug it from the VCP and TV.

• The VCP continues to draw a small

amount of current from the vehicle’s

battery even after you turn it off, so

be sure to disconnect the DC

adapter from the cigarette lighter

socket when you are not using the

VCP and TV, to prevent your vehi-

cle’s battery from being drained.

The DC power cord has two barrel plugs

on one end and a cigarette-lighter plug

on the other end. To connect DC power,

plug one of the adapter’s barrel plugs

into the VCP’s

DC IN 12V

jack, and plug

the other into the TV’s DC 12-volt jack.

Then connect the cigarette-lighter plug

into the vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket.

Caution:

Before plugging the power

cord’s cigarette-lighter plug into your ve-

hicle’s cigarette-lighter socket, make

sure the knurled ring is screwed firmly

onto the plug.

DEW PROTECTION

SYSTEM

Your VCP’s dew protection system helps

prevent damage caused by moisture that

can form on the VCP’s tape heads, such

as when you move the VCP from a cold

area to a warm one. When the system

senses moisture on the tape head(s),

DEW turns on and the VCP does not let

you play a tape.
