I looked on the manual, and I still do not know how to dial in a frequency without a tone. Anyone have a MXT400, I am testing out the WRFV232 at 462.550 MHz. What channel? What CTCSS code do I go to?

Upon getting my MXT400 MicroMobile, I soon noticed I needed a power converter to plug into my house. It looks like the unit is for hooking into a car. I ordered a DuraComm Desk Top LPX which arrived yesterday, and saw no means on connecting the red and black wires that came from the MXT400. Only on the back of the LPX were four screws which I un tightened but didnt allow me to clamp the wires into the holes.. I ended up jamming the wires in without tightening anything and the radio worked fine.. but its not the safest or what is is supposed to look like.. How do I do this?
