4. When charging is complete, unplug
the battery charger’s plug from the
AC outlet. Then, disconnect the bat-
tery charger’s barrel plug from the
POWER jack.
Note: You can use an external charger
(such as Cat. No. 23-134, not sup-
plied) to recharge the nickel-cadmium
batteries. After removing the batteries
from the TRC-235, follow the instructions
that come with the external charger.
Important: Your TRC-235 is capable of
using nickel-cadmium batteries. At the end
of the batteries’ useful lif e, they must be re-
cycled or disposed of properly. Cont act
your local, county, or state hazardous
waste management authorities for inf orma-
tion on recycling or disposal p rograms in
your area. Some options that mi ght be
available are: municipal curbside collec-
tion, drop-off boxes at retailers such as
your local RadioShack store, recycling col-
lection centers, and mail-back pro grams.
USING VEHICLE BATTERY POWER
You can power your TRC-235 from your
vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket with an
optional 12-volt DC fused power cord
(such as Cat. No. 270-1533).
• You must use a DC fused cord that
supplies 12 volts and delivers at
least 1000 milliamps of vehicle
power. Its center tip must be set to
positive, and its plug must correctly
fit the TRC-235’s POWER jack. The
recommended fused cord meets
these specifications. Using a fused
cord that does not meet these speci-
fications could damage the TRC-235
or the fused cord.
