Using AC Power | Radio Shack PRO-92 specs

•Rechargeable batteries last longer and deliver more power if you let them fully discharge once a month. To do this, use the scanner until Low Battery! appears. Then fully charge the rechargeable batter- ies.

Important: .The EPA certified RBRC Bat- tery Recycling Seal on the nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) battery indicates RadioShack is voluntarily participating in an industry pro- gram to collect and recycle these batteries

at the end of their useful life, when taken out of service in the United States or Canada. The RBRC program pro- vides a convenient alternative to placing used Ni-Cd bat- teries into the trash or the municipal waste stream, which may be illegal in your area. Please call 1-800-THE- SHACK (1-800-843-7422) for information on Ni-Cd bat- tery recycling and disposal bans/restrictions in your ar- ea. RadioShack’s involvement in this program is part of the company’s commitment to preserving our environ- ment and conserving our natural resources.

Using AC Power

You can power the scanner using an 9V, 300 mA AC adapter and a size H Adaptaplug (neither supplied). We recommend RadioShack Cat. No. 273-1767 (available at your local RadioShack store).

Cautions:

You must use a Class 2 power source that

!supplies 9V DC and delivers at least 300 mA. Its center tip must be set to negative

and its plug must fit the scanner's PWR DC 9V jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifi- cations could damage the scanner or the adapter.

•Always connect the AC adapter to the scanner before you connect it to AC power. When you finish, disconnect the adapter from AC power before you disconnect it from the scanner.

Follow these steps to connect the adapter.

1.Connect the Adaptaplug to the adapter’s cord with the tip set to negative.
