Warning: Do not connect either adapter to the scanner’s CHG jack if you installed non-rechargeable batteries (standard, extra-life, or alkaline). Non-rechargeable batteries become hot and can ex- plode if you try to recharge them.

It takes about 10 to 18 hours to recharge batteries that are fully discharged. You can operate the scanner while recharging nickel- cadmium batteries, but the charging time is lengthened.

Cautions:

•Do not overcharge nickel-cadmium batteries.

•To prevent damaging nickel-cadmium batteries, never charge them in an area where the temperature is above 90° F or below 40° F.

Note: Nickel-cadmium batteries last longer and deliver more pow- er if you occasionally let them fully discharge. To do this, simply use the scanner until BATT flashes on the scanner’s display and the scanner beeps. Then fully charge the batteries.

RESETTING THE SCANNER

If the scanner’s display locks up or does not work properly after you connect a power source, you might need to reset the scanner.

Caution: This procedure clears all the information you pro- grammed into the scanner. Use this procedure only when you are sure your scanner is not working properly.

1.If the scanner is on, turn VOLUME OFF/MAX counterclockwise until it clicks to turn it off.

2.While you press and hold down the BAND/• and 0 keys, turn on the scanner.
