Note: You can use an external charger
(such as Cat. No. 23-134, not sup-
plied) to recharge the nickel-cadmium
batteries. After removing the batteries
from the TRC-236, follow the instructions
that come with the external charger.
Important: Your TRC-236 is capable of
using nickel-cadmium batteries. At the end
of the batteries’ useful life, they must be re-
cycled or disposed of properly. Contact
your local, county, or state hazardous
waste management authorities for informa-
tion on recycling or disposal programs in
your area. Some options that might be
available are: municipal curbside collec-
tion, drop-off boxes at retailers such as
your local RadioShack store, recycling col-
lection centers, and mail-back programs.
USING VEHICLE BATTERY
POWER
You can power your TRC-236 from your
vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket with an
optional 12-volt DC fused power cord
(such as Cat. No. 270-1533).
Cautions:
• You must use a DC fused cord that
supplies 12 volts and delivers at
least 1200 milliamps of vehicle
power. Its center tip must be set to
positive, and its plug must correctly
fit the TRC-236’s
POWER jack. The
recommended fused cord meets
these specifications. Using a fused
cord that does not meet these speci-
fications could damage the TRC-236
or the fused cord.
