BC350A dc power question?

[scannerman200]

I am using my bc350a scanner in my car and I have a cigarette lighter plug for it, but the plug lets you choose what voltage you need. This voltage goes up to 12v. What should I set the voltage to?

Positive 12V should be fine.

From the manual:
Installation for Temporary Use:
A Cigarette Lighter Power Cord is provided for easy, temporary installation.
Warning: Do not use the cigarette lighter power cord in a positive
ground vehicle.
Plug one end of the Cigarette Lighter Power Cord into the cigarette lighter
jack and the other end into the DC 13.8V jack on the back of the scanner.

Yep. I have a 350A, (pretty much just a paperweight since I got my 396...lol) it runs on 12V. Most cars run right around 14V when the engine is running, that's why they specify 13.8V.
