there is two fused power leads coming out of the back(red & Black). you can attach a male plug for a cigarette lighter in your car/truck or attach those leads to a power supply to use indoors. 120 volt to 13.8 screw caps on the rear of the power supply. or attach to the car/truck battery if you want to leave the radio in the car/truck ( permanent mount )

You should be able to get an adaptor at Radio Shack or an electronics part store such as http://www.cablesandconnectors.com. The plug is 1/4" outer diameter, about 1/8 inner. The power adaptor side has an output of 9v-2a. As someone suggested, easiest thing is to take the old adaptor with you to the store if you still have it.

I soldered a usb wire on mine like you said but it will also work with a 5v power adapter as well it was just easier for to use the usb wire since I have alot of them just laying around!!

there's two things you need to plug in - the power adapter and the usb cable. The usb cable it uses is a regular mini-usb (like the kind old blackberries used)

You get an adapter like this one &gt; http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008FO7PQA/ref=pe_385040_30332190_TE_3p_M3T1_ST1_dp_1

It will work just fine. The only thing to concern oneself with when purchasing a power adapter is the Wattage. (That and 'will the plug fit'.) Most laptop power adapters are specific to brand, not model - unless there is a change post-production. I've not had an issue with the one that I purchased.

I go by the model numbers on the back of the old power supply, run that number in Google. Power Plug into the Laptop should then match, and then I like to match up the specs that should be close to the model number ... like how many amps and volts and such. Until my new one arrived I was running a Dell adaptor that came up a little short on Amps but worked because I did not have the battery in the laptop and so it ran a little warm, but was OK. Just match up info on back adaptor you are trying to replace and that should match you up fine. Plug should show polarity on the back, like center being (+) or (-) and such, that should all match up with identical model number just fine.

I had bought that same thing and when I got it found out it wasn't all there. They do sell the power supply cord at most walmarts or you can return what you have and get the complete kit. I also believe they sell the cord on amazon for 2.97 plus shipping. Look in the same spot where you found the power adapter

The one I bought came with the power connector. Sounds like they owe you one.

As long as you have enough power connections... You may have to order the right kind of power cable, or an adapter cable through Amazon (should be less than $10).

If power adaptor is an issue you can get by without using it. It takes the computer's internal 4 pin molex connector which is a day saver.

i need to know the model you have in order to tell you the correct power supply. if you have acer 100: this is the correct one to buy: Replacement 18W AC adapter for Acer ICONIA TAB A100, Acer ICONIA TAB A100-07u08u, Acer ICONIA TAB A100-07u08w, Acer ICONIA TAB A100-07u16u, 100% Compatible with LC.ADT0A.024. ***COME WITH MICROFIBER ADAPTER POUCH!!

Thank You. But its impossible to buy the correct adapter without reviewing the voltage and Current specifications. But after I asked my question I found the right one on Amazon, and it was not this one, although they look the same.

Any electronics vendor should have one. Its a USB Standard-A male plug to a USB Mini-B male plug. Try this to search amazon

Thanks for your response. I bought one of these connectors but it was the wrong size, too small to fit the one I had. I am looking for the right one to fit my existing connector.

You could use a battery pack from Anker. All that's needed is the right connecting cable to plug into the coupler. I believe the correct power cable connector is 5.5mm OD x 2.1mm ID. (http://www.amazon.com/UpBright%C2%AE-Worldwide-Double-Connect-Adapter/dp/B00E5JB5XI/ref=cm_wl_huc_item) Can anyone confirm?
