Notes:
Mobile use of this scanner is unlawful or requires a
permit in some areas. Check the laws in your area.
If the scanner does not operate properly when you
connect a DC adapter, unplug the adapter from the
cigarette-lighter socket and clean the socket to
remove ashes and other debris.
Charging a Rechargeable Battery Pack
Your scanner has a built-in charging circuit that lets you
charge a rechargeable battery pack (Cat. No. 23-288)
while it is in the scanner. To charge the battery pack, sim-
ply connect an AC or DC adapter to the scanner’s
PWR/DC
9V
jack.
It takes about 14–16 hours to recharge a battery pack that
is fully discharged. You can operate the scanner while re-
charging the battery pack, but charging takes longer.
Notes:
If you want to take the battery pack out of the scan-
ner to charge it, follow the instructions in “Using Bat-
teries” on Page 9 to remove it, then follow the
instructions provided with the battery pack to charge
it.
A rechargeable battery pack lasts longer if you let it
fully discharge once a month. To do this, simply use
the scanner until
BATT
flashes and the scanner
beeps about every 3 seconds. Then fully charge the
battery pack.
