When using the CAR battery
The VCP is designed for inhome or mobile use. You can power it from
standard AC adaptor, from the cigarette lighter socket in your vehicle,
or a 12 Volt DC power source.
A DC CAR lighter adaptor is supplied with the video player to operate
the unit with a 12 volt DC source.
Plug this adaptor into either the 12 volt DC outlet or cigarette
lighter socket.
Plug the small plug into the DC input jack on the VCP.
The DC adaptor cord is to be used with the GVP-C125 only, and
not to be used in conjunction with any other Appliance.
When the unit is not in use, always disconnect it from the CAR
cigarette lighter socket to avoid battery drain.
Be sure not to leave it in a place where the temperature
exceeds 70deg. C(158deg. F), or the pickup device may be damaged.
Examples include:
Inside a car with the windows closed and in direct
sunshine.
Near a heating appliance.
The VCP and its DC power cord are designed for use in
vehicles that have 12-volt, negative ground electrical systems. (This
is standard for most vehicles.) If your vehicle has a different type
of electrical system, the DC power system can not be used.
To prevent electrical shock and possible damage to your VCP
or vehicle, always unplug the power cord from the cigarette lighter
socket before your remove the plug from the VCP.
A 3 amp. 125 or 250V fuse for protection is installed in the
adaptor.
Please disconnect DC plug from cigarette lighter socket
(CAR) while engine starts, if possible.
Please do not operate the VCP when the car battery is
discharged, or the DC fuse may blow by the peak current from car
generator.
If the vehicle's supply voltage drops below approximately
10 Volts, the unit may not work properly.
