POWER SOURCES
You can power your scanner from any of three sources:
• internal non-rechargeable batteries or rechargeable

• standard AC power (with an optional AC adapter —
see "“Using AC Power” on Page 13)
• vehicle power (with an optional DC adapter — see
“Using Vehicle Battery Power” on Page 13)

supplied rechargeable battery holder.
• If you install the rechargeable battery holder, you
can operate the scanner and recharge the
rechargeable batteries at the same time. See "Using

• If the scanner stops working properly after connect-
