powering your scanner

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)

Before installing batteries, set the switch in the battery compartment to match the type of batteries you will use. Select ALKALINE for non-rechargeable battery types and RECHARGEABLE for rechargeable battery types, including Ni-Cd and Ni-MH. See also “Using Rechargeable Batteries” on Page 7 when you use rechargeable batteries.

Remove battery cover and set battery switch.
