Setting Up Your Scanner
WARNING!
Do not connect either adapter to the scanner if non-
rechargeable batteries (such as alkaline batteries)
are installed in the scanner and REG. ALK. BATT./
NI-MH BATT. is set to NI-MH BATT., or if you are
unsure of the switch’s position. Non-rechargeable
batteries will get hot and can even burst if you try to
recharge them.
Before you use Ni-MH or Ni-Cd batteries for the first
time, charge them for 14 hours to bring them to a full
charge.
Discharged batteries take about 14 hours to fully
recharge.
Notes:
• Ni-MH batteries last longer and deliver more
power if you occasionally let them fully
discharge. To do this, simply use the scanner
until it beeps every 15 seconds and
flashes.
• To prevent damage to Ni-MH batteries, never
charge them in an area where the temperature is
above 113°F (45°C) or below 40°F (4°C).
• If you connect an external power source to the
scanner with REG. ALK. BATT./NI-MH BATT.
set to REG. ALK. BATT., CHArg and

batteries. Make sure that you use the correct
batteries and set REG. ALK. BATT./
NI-MH BATT. to the correct position when you
connect an external power source.
