4 Setting into Operation

The megaphone can either be operated with
batteries or be supplied with power externally,
e . g . via the 12 V electrical system of a car or
a 12 V power supply unit . When an external
power supply is connected, the inserted batter-
ies will be switched off .
4.1 Inserting Batteries
1) Unlock the latch (4) and open the battery
compartment 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 compart-
ment) .
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), remove the batteries as a
precaution so that the unit will not be damaged
in case the batteries should leak .
Do not put discharged batteries or de-
fective rechargeable batteries into the
household waste; always take them to
a special waste disposal (e . g . collection
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 diameter) with positive polarity
at the inside contact is required . A connection
cable with a plug for the socket of the electrical
system of a car (cigarette lighter socket, cen-
tre contact positive) is supplied with the meg-
aphone . When using the cigarette lighter socket,
make sure to remove any ashes to ensure good
electrical contact . If necessary, clean the socket
with a soft, dry cloth .
