Warning: Do not connect either adapter to the scanner’s
CHG
jack
if you installed non-rechargeable batteries (standard, extra-life, or
alkaline). Non-rechargeable batteries become hot and can ex-
plode if you try to recharge them.
It takes about 10 to 18 hours to recharge batteries that are fully
discharged. You can operate the scanner while recharging nickel-
cadmium batteries, but the charging time is lengthened.
Cautions:
• Do not overcharge nickel-cadmium batteries.
• To prevent damaging nickel-cadmium batteries, never
charge them in an area where the temperature is above
90
°
F or below 40
°
F.
Note: Nickel-cadmium batteries last longer and deliver more pow-
er if you occasionally let them fully discharge. To do this, simply
use the scanner until
BATT
flashes on the scanner’s display and
the scanner beeps. Then fully charge the batteries.
