Radio Shack PRO-94 - Manual (Page 13)

13 Preparation
Important: This scanner can use Ni-Cd
rechargeable batteries. At the end of a
Ni-Cd battery’s useful life, it must be re-
cycled or disposed of properly. Contact
your local, county, or state hazardous
waste management authorities for infor-
mation on recycling or disposal pro-
grams in your area or call 1-800-843-7422. Some
options that might be available are: municipal curbside
collection, drop-off boxes at retailers such as your local
RadioShack store, recycling collection centers, and mail-
back programs
.
USING AC POWER
You can power the scanner using an 9V, 300 mA AC
adapter and a size H Adaptaplug
™
adapter (neither sup-
plied). 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 negative
and its plug must fit the scanner’s POWER 9V 300MA
jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these
specifications 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.
Follow these steps to use the scanner on AC power.
1. Turn VOLUME/OFF counterclockwise until it clicks to
make sure the power is turned off.
2. Insert the Adaptaplug into the AC adapter’s cord so
it reads TIP –. Insert the Adaptaplug into the scan-
ner’s
POWER 9V 300MA jack.
3. Plug the AC adapter into a standard AC outlet.
If rechargeable batteries are installed and ALKALINE
JACK NI-CD is set to NI-CD , the adapter powers the
