batteries will eventually only hold a three-hour
charge.
3. Nicads may reverse polarity if discharged too
far and will not recharge.
Don’t leave your detector on and don’t continue
to operate it more than an hour after the battery
check tone goes silent.
The optional 1266-X recharge kit includes (2)
battery packs, (8) nicad batteries, (1) 110v, 60
cycle home recharger and (1) 12v negative-
ground auto cigarette lighter recharger.
110-VOLT RECHARGER
1. Install the nicad batteries.
2. Plug the charger into the wall outlet and the
small cable plug into the RECHARGE JACK on the
rear of the control housing.
3. The batteries will begin charging immediately.
A full charge will take from 16 to 24 hours.
4. Do not charge over 48 hours.
12 VOLT AUTO RECHARGER
(Use only with 12v negative ground system.)
1. Install the nicad batteries.
2. Plug the charger into your auto cigarette
lighter socket and the small cable into the
1266-X RECHARGE JACK.
3. The batteries will begin charging immediately.
An overnight charge with the engine off may
give only 6-8 hours of battery life. A full charge
may take as long as 48 hours (less with the engine
running).
For this reason, the Auto Recharger may best be
used for OCCASIONAL “Booster” charges (see
Recharging, paragraph 2, above).
4. Do not charge over 48 hours.
