5. Power Supply
Power can be supplied through the following 4 ways.
1. Cigarette Lighter Power Cable
Power is fed through the cigarette lighter power cable.
However, when the vehicle ignition switch is in the “OFF” position or upon starting
a vehicle, power is not supplied to the cigarette lighter socket.
2. Vehicle Battery
Power can be supplied through the cigar lighter cable after the red alligator clip of
battery extension cable is attached to the positive battery terminal (+), and
the black alligator clip to the negative battery terminal (-).
In this case, power can be supplied continuously regardless of the position of the
ignition switch or a startup situation of the vehicle.
(Be careful no to discharge the battery.)
Caution! Improper connection of (+) and (-) may cause damage to the
product.
3. DLC Communication Cable
Vehicles satisfying OBD-II communication protocol and 20PIN diagnostic connector
can directly receive a power supply through DLC communication cable without
a separate power supply unit.
4. AC/DC POWER Adapter
If AC/DC adapter is used as a power supply, the battery may be charged
automatically, and it may be also used as the power supply of the mainframe.
