PWR DC 9V

•Rechargeable batteries last longer and deliver more power if you let them fully discharge once a month. To do this, use the scanner until (FNý â8KK<IPü appears. Then fully charge the rechargeable batter- ies.

Using AC Power

You can power the scanner using a 9V, 300 mA AC adapter and a size C Adaptaplug (neither supplied). Both are 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 positive

and its plug must fit the scanner'sjack. 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.

To connect the adapter.

1.Connect the Adaptaplug to the adapter's cord with the tip set to positive.

2.Plug the adapter's barrel plug into the scanner's

PWR DC 9V jack.

3.Plug the adapter's two-prong plug into an AC outlet.

Using Vehicle Battery Power

You can power the scanner from a vehicle’s 12V power source (such as cigarette-lighter socket) using a 9V, 300 mA DC adapter and a size C Adaptaplug™ adapter (nei- ther supplied). Both are available at your local Ra- dioShack store.
