Caution: The battery holder fits only one way. Do not force it.

5. Replace the cover.

When battery power is low, Low Battery! appears and the scanner beeps continuously. When battery pow- er is depleted, the scanner turns itself off. Replace all six non-rechargeable batteries, or recharge the recharge- able batteries. See “Charging Rechargeable Batteries.”

Warning: Always dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not bury or burn them.

Caution: If you do not plan to use the scanner with bat- teries for a month or longer, remove the batteries. Batter- ies can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.

Charging Rechargeable Batteries

Your scanner has a built-in charging circuit that lets you charge rechargeable batteries (not supplied) while it is in the scanner. To charge rechargeable batteries connect

an appropriate AC or DC adapter to thejack. We recommend RadioShack rechargeable batteries.

Note: To charge batteries with a DC adapter from a DC

power source, you must use RadioShack Cat. No. 273-

®

1825 and a size H Adaptaplug (neither supplied) avail- able at your local RadioShack store. Make sure the adapter’s voltage is set to 10V.

It takes between 14–16 hours to recharge rechargeable batteries that are fully discharged. You can operate the scanner while recharging the rechargeable batteries, but charging takes longer.

Notes:

•The scanner can charge Ni-MH batteries, however, these batteries require more than 24 hours to charge. We recommend using an external quick charger for Ni-MH batteries.

•Additional charging time is required for high- capacity rechargeable batteries.
