In some areas, mobile use of this scanner is unlawful or requires a permit. Check the laws in your area.

PREPARATION

POWER SOURCES

You can power your scanner from any of three sources:

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

standard AC power (with an optional AC adapter — see “Using AC Power” on Page 11)

vehicle power (with an optional DC adapter — see

“Using Vehicle Battery Power” on Page 12) Ô

Using Batteries

You can power the scanner with four AA batteries (not supplied). For the longest operation and best performance, we recommend alkaline batteries, available at your local RadioShack store.

You can use either the supplied non-rechargeable battery holder (black), or the supplied rechargeable battery holder (yellow). If you use the rechargeable battery holder, we recommend RadioShack nickel- metal hydride (Ni–MH) batteries.

Ô NOTE Ô

Connecting an AC or DC adapter to the scanner dis- connects internal batteries when you use the supplied non-rechargeable battery holder, but it does not discon- nect internal bat- teries when you use the supplied rechargeable battery holder.

If you install the rechargeable battery holder, you can operate the scanner and re- charge the re- chargeable batteries at the same time. See “Using Batteries” and “Charging Rechargeable Batteries” on Page 11.

If the scanner stops working properly after connecting it to power, try resetting it. See “Resetting/ Initializing the Scanner” on Page 83.

You must charge rechargeable batteries before you use them the first time. See “Charging Rechargeable Batteries” on Page 11.
