The Basics
It takes about 16 hours to recharge fully discharged 1600
mAh Ni-MH rechargeable batteries. You can operate the
scanner while recharging the rechargeable batteries, but
charging takes longer.
The scanner can also charge Ni-Cd batteries. 600 mAh
batteries require 6 hours and 850 mAh batteries require 8
hours to charge.
When you charge rechargeable batteries, do not
overcharge them. Overcharging shortens battery life.
Rechargeable batteries last longer and deliver more
power if you let them fully discharge once a month. To
do this, use the scanner until Low battery! appears. Then
fully charge the rechargeable batteries.
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.
1. Connect the Adaptaplug to the adapter’s cord with the tip
set to positive.
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 fi t the scanner’s PWR
DC 9V jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these
specifi cations could damage the scanner or the adapter.
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.
