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 16 hours to bring them to a full
charge. Discharged batteries take about 16 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., the scanner does NOT
charge the 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.
