Notes:
• If the scanner does not work properly after connecting it to power, try
resetting it (see
“Initializing the Scanner”
on page 26).
• If you are powering from your vehicle’s power port and your vehicle’s
engine is running, you might hear electrical noise from the engine. This
is normal when using a CLA adapter. The problem can be remedied by
connecting directly to the vehicle fuse box.

You must use a Class 2 power source that supplies 9V DC and
delivers at least 400mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug
must fit the scanner’s

specifications could damage the scanner or the adapter.
