POWER SOURCES

You can power your scanner from any of three sources:

•internal non-rechargeable batteries or rechargeable batteries (not supplied — see “Using Batteries” on Page 10).

•standard AC power (with an optional AC adapter — see "“Using AC Power” on Page 13)

•vehicle power (with an optional DC adapter — see “Using Vehicle Battery Power” on Page 13)

Notes:

•Connecting an AC or DC adapter to the scanner dis- connects internal batteries when you use the sup- plied non-rechargeable battery holder, but it does not disconnect internal batteries when you use the supplied rechargeable battery holder.

•If you install the rechargeable battery holder, you can operate the scanner and recharge the rechargeable batteries at the same time. See "Using Batteries" and “Charging Rechargeable Batteries” on Page 12.

•If the scanner stops working properly after connect- ing it to power, try resetting it. See “Resetting/Initial- izing the Scanner” on Page 79.
