WARNING!
Do not connect either adapter to the scanner if non- rechargeable batteries (such as alkaline batteries) are installed in the scanner and REG. ALK. BATT./ NI-MH BATT. is set to NI-MH BATT., or if you are unsure of the switch’s position. Non-rechargeable batteries will get hot and can even burst if you try to recharge them.
Before you use Ni-MH or Ni-Cd batteries for the first time, charge them for 14 hours to bring them to a full charge.
Discharged batteries take about 14 hours to fully recharge.
Notes:
•Ni-MH batteries last longer and deliver more power if you occasionally let them fully discharge. To do this, simply use the scanner
until it beeps every 15 seconds and 
flashes.
•To prevent damage to Ni-MH batteries, never charge them in an area where the temperature is above 113°F (45°C) or below 40°F (4°C).
•If you connect an external power source to the scanner with REG. ALK. BATT./NI-MH BATT. set to REG. ALK. BATT., CHArg and 
appear but the scanner does NOT charge the batteries. Make sure that you use the correct batteries and set REG. ALK. BATT./
NI-MH BATT. to the correct position when you connect an external power source.
