Joe, the 3-pin receptacle on the calculator accepts a cord from either
of two external power units. One being a unit that works off of 12vdc -
cigarette lighter - and the second works off of 110vac. The second unit
is capable of 8.7vdc _at_ 150ma as well as 9.6vdc @ 230ma. There are a
couple of charging modes as well as a charge while running on external
power and my suspicion is that this accounts for the 3 pins on the
connector. I will see if I can get something more definitive for you.
