Setting Into Operation; Inserting Batteries; External Power Supply - Monacor TM-17 Manual De Instrucciones

4 Setting into Operation

The megaphone can either be operated with batteries
or be supplied with power externally, e. g. via the 12 V
electric system of a car or a 12 V power supply unit.
When connecting an external power supply, the
inserted batteries are switched off.

4.1 Inserting Batteries

1) Open the latch (4) and unfold the battery compart-
ment cover (8).
2) Insert eight 1.5 V batteries of C size into the battery
compartment. Observe the correct polarity (see
imprint in the battery compartment).
3) Close the battery compartment; fold the cover (8)
upwards and lock it with the latch.
If the unit is not used for a longer period (e. g. more
than a week), the batteries should be removed to pre-
vent damage to the unit due to battery leakage.
Do not put dead batteries or defective re -
chargeable batteries into the household rub-
bish but take them to a special waste dispos-
al (e. g. collecting container at your retailer).

4.2 External power supply

For connection to the power supply jack DC 12 V (7) a
low voltage plug ∅ 2.1 / 5.5 mm (inside/outside diame-
ter) with positive polarity at the inside contact is
required. A connection cable with a plug for the socket
of the carʼs electric system (cigarette lighter socket,
centre contact positive) is supplied with the mega-
phone. When using the cigarette lighter socket, for a
good electric contact ensure that this socket is not con-
taminated with ash. If necessary, clean it with a soft,
dry cloth.
