Scanner Setup

Battery Notes

Use fresh alkaline AA batteries.

Rechargeable batteries can be used, but battery life is shorter than with alkaline batteries. The scanner will not recharge batteries in the compartment.

Always remove old or weak batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that destroy electronic circuits.

Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.

The batteries are intended to provide backup power for the clock and for scanning for a short time. When the backup batteries becomes too

low, appears. Promptly replace the batteries.

When you either install batteries or connect the AC Adapter to a standard wall outlet, the scanner powers on and goes to STANDBY mode. The display shows the initial clock time of 12:00 AM. The scanner remains in STANDBY mode.

Recycle Rechargeable Batteries

Placing rechargeable batteries in the trash can be harmful to

the environment. Instead, recycle old rechargeable batteries at your local RadioShack store free of charge. RadioShack

participates in the RBRC© battery recycling program, and is committed to preserving the environment and conserving natural resources. Call 1-800-THE-SHACK(1-800-843-7422) for more information.

Scanner Placement

Do not use the scanner in high-moisture environments such as the kitchen or bathroom.

Avoid placing the scanner in direct sunlight or near heating elements or vents.

If your scanner receives interference or electrical noise, move the scanner or its antenna away from the source. You might also try changing the height or angle of the antenna.
