Installing a Permanent Power Cord

1. Check the vehicle’s battery connections to determine which battery terminal (positive

or negative) is grounded to the engine block or chassis. Most of today’s vehicles use a
negative ground. If your vehicle has a negative ground, follow the steps below.
Otherwise, consult your vehicle’s dealer for advice on installing negative ground acces-
sories in your vehicle.

2. Connect an optional DC power cord’s RED wire to the accessory contact in your

vehicle’s +12 VDC fuse box.

3. Connect the DC power cord’s BLACK wire to the negative side of the vehicle (usually

the chassis).

4. Insert the DC plug into the DC 12V jack on the back of the scanner.
