Low Battery!
appears. Then fully charge the rechargeable batter-

.The EPA certified RBRC
®
Bat-
tery Recycling Seal on the nickel-cadmium
(Ni-Cd) battery indicates RadioShack is
voluntarily participating in an industry pro-
gram to collect and recycle these batteries
at the end of their useful life, when taken out of service in
the United States or Canada. The RBRC program pro-
vides a convenient alternative to placing used Ni-Cd bat-
teries into the trash or the municipal waste stream, which
may be illegal in your area. Please call 1-800-THE-
SHACK (1-800-843-7422) for information on Ni-Cd bat-
tery recycling and disposal bans/restrictions in your ar-
ea. RadioShack’s involvement in this program is part of
the company’s commitment to preserving our environ-
ment and conserving our natural resources.
Using AC Power
You can power the scanner using an 9V, 300 mA AC
adapter and a size H Adaptaplug (neither supplied). We
recommend RadioShack Cat. No. 273-1767 (available at
your local RadioShack store).
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2 power source that
supplies 9V DC and delivers at least 300
mA. Its center tip must be set to negative
and its plug must fit the scanner's
PWR
DC
9V
jack.
Using an adapter that does not meet these specifi-
cations could damage the scanner or the adapter.
Always connect the AC adapter to the scanner
before you connect it to AC power. When you finish,
disconnect the adapter from AC power before you
disconnect it from the scanner.
Follow these steps to connect the adapter.
1. Connect the Adaptaplug to the adapter’s cord with
the tip set to negative.
