Setting Up Your Scanner
Cautions:
•
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and
recommended type.
• Always remove old or weak batteries. Batteries
can leak chemicals that destroy electronic
circuits.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types
of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable),
or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
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 (this is the
default setting with the sticker) 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 16 hours to bring them to a full
charge. Discharged batteries take about 16 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).
