The sockets are located on the right side of the system (seethe label below the socket).The system is started by activating the power switch. The system automaticallyadjusts to the power source.For external devices, the APL-B power supply unit offers two different DCoutlets, one at 12V/8A and the other at 24V/6A.The user need not worry about the power source. The SCOTTY APL-B system can adapt topractically every AC utility power in the world and many DC power sources, for exampleship or car battery without an outside convertor- even mixing up the polarity will notdamage the system.If desired, the system can be connected to both AC and DC power sources simultaneously.In this case, the SCOTTY APL-B System is powered by the AC power but will automaticallyswitch to the DC power on the fly if the AC power is interrupted - for example in the case ofa power outage.Only the NWC’s and the Laptop can be powered by their internal batteries.SCOTTY APL-B Users' Manual 7
