The Basics

It takes about 16 hours to recharge fully discharged 1600 mAh Ni-MH rechargeable batteries. You can operate the scanner while recharging the rechargeable batteries, but charging takes longer.

	Notes	The scanner can also charge Ni-Cd batteries. 600 mAh
	Notes	batteries require 6 hours and 850 mAh batteries require 8
		batteries require 6 hours and 850 mAh batteries require 8
		hours to charge.

When you charge rechargeable batteries, do not overcharge them. Overcharging shortens battery life.

Rechargeable batteries last longer and deliver more power if you let them fully discharge once a month. To do this, use the scanner until Low battery! appears. Then fully charge the rechargeable batteries.

using AC power

You can power the scanner using a 9V, 300 mA AC adapter and a size C Adaptaplug (neither supplied). Both are available at your local RadioShack store.

1.Connect the Adaptaplug to the adapter’s cord with the tip set to positive.

You must use a Class 2 power source that supplies 9V

Notes

DC and delivers at least 300 mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must ﬁt the scanner’s PWR DC 9V jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these speciﬁcations could damage the scanner or the adapter.

2.Plug the adapter’s barrel plug into the scanner’s PWR DC 9V jack.

3.Plug the adapter’s two-prong plug into an AC outlet.
