and the scanner beeps continuously. When battery pow-
er is depleted, the scanner turns itself off. Replace all six
non-rechargeable batteries, or recharge the recharge-
able batteries. See “Charging Rechargeable Batteries.”
Warning:
Always dispose of old batteries promptly and
properly. Do not bury or burn them.
Caution:
If you do not plan to use the scanner with bat-
teries for a month or longer, remove the batteries. Batter-
ies can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
Charging Rechargeable Batteries
Your scanner has a built-in charging circuit that lets you
charge rechargeable batteries (not supplied) while it is in
the scanner. To charge rechargeable batteries connect
an appropriate AC or DC adapter to the
PWR DC 9V
jack.
We recommend RadioShack rechargeable batteries.
Note:
To charge batteries with a DC adapter from a DC
power source, you must use RadioShack Cat. No. 273-
1825 and a size H Adaptaplug
®
(neither supplied) avail-
able at your local RadioShack store. Make sure the
adapter’s voltage is set to 10V.
It takes between 14–16 hours to recharge rechargeable
batteries that are fully discharged. You can operate the
scanner while recharging the rechargeable batteries, but
charging takes longer.
Notes:
• The scanner can charge Ni-MH batteries, however,
these batteries require more than 24 hours to
charge. We recommend using an external quick
charger for Ni-MH batteries.
• Additional charging time is required for high-
capacity rechargeable batteries.
