Preparation
You can power your scanner from any of three sources:
• internal batteries (not supplied)
• standard AC power (using an optional AC adapter)
• vehicle battery power (using an optional DC
adapter)
USING INTERNAL BATTERIES
You can power your scanner using four alkaline, lithium,
or rechargeable (Ni-Cd or Ni-MH) AA batteries (not sup-
plied). For the best performance and longest life, we rec-
ommend RadioShack batteries.

VOLUME/OFF

ner, then pull up the battery compartment cover
