Battery Charging External Power Sources

BATTERY CHARGING AND

EXTERNAL POWER SOURCES

NOTE: The provided 12V DC power cord is intended ONLY for DC operation, not charging batteries. The power jack located on the radio enables you to use the 12V DC power cord to power the radio directly from your vehicle's electrical system.

Use Maxon's optional AC/DC Wall Battery Charger (DV-7210) for recharging the nickel cadmium batteries in the radio. NOTE: Recharge nickel cadmium batteries only.

For maximum performance and to ensure maximum range always keep fresh batteries in your radio. If you do not wish to recharge the batteries periodi- cally, use standard carbon zinc or alkaline batteries.

You can operate the HCB-10C in your home by using a standard 120V AC outlet. Contact your local electronics retailer for a 120V AC to 12V DC (1500 mA minimum current capacity) power converter. It must be equipped with a coaxial barrel-type plug having an inside barrel diameter of 0.085 inch (2.1mm). The center conductor of the plug must be connected to the positive lead of your power source.

NOTE: If you choose to use nickel cadmium batteries when operating your HCB-10C radio, please follow proper procedures for recycling/ disposal. Contact one of the following facilities for more information:
