Installation & Accessories
Power
The iFINDER operates from two AA batteries or on 3 volts DC using an
optional external power cable with a cigarette lighter adapter. If the
power cable is used, the iFINDER automatically switches to it if the
external power is greater than the battery voltage. If the external
power fails, the unit automatically switches to the batteries.
Flash memory and an internal lithium battery will keep your stored
data safe and accessible for the life of the product.
Batteries
The unit requires two 1.5-volt AA batteries. We recommend that you
use alkaline batteries for the best trade-off between battery life and
cost. We recommend DURACELL

brand, but other brands will work.
If you're looking for an extended-life battery, the Duracell

ULTRA bat-
tery has performed well in our tests.
You can also use rechargeable AA alkaline batteries, such as those
made by RAYOVAC

, or rechargeable AA nickel metal hydride (NiMH)
batteries. We do not recommend nickel cadmium (NiCd) rechargeable
batteries because you will get poor battery life from them.
Rechargeable alkaline batteries will not last as long as standard alka-
line batteries. NiMH batteries are rechargeable, however, and should
give you suitable battery life.
Do not mix different battery types. Mixing battery types may cause leak-
age. (For example, don’t use both alkaline and NiMH batteries at the
same time, and don't use standard alkalines with rechargeable alka-
lines.)
Battery Installation
Turn the unit over so that the back is facing you. Use your thumb to press
the latch on the battery compartment cover toward the bottom of the unit.
