Warning: Do not connect either adapter to the scanner’s CHG jack
if you installed non-rechargeable batteries (standard, extra-life, or
alkaline). Non-rechargeable batteries become hot and can ex-
plode if you try to recharge them.
It takes about 10 to 18 hours to recharge batteries that are fully
discharged. You can operate the scanner while recharging nickel-
cadmium batteries, but the charging time is lengthened.
Cautions:
• Do not overcharge nickel-cadmium batteries.
• To prevent damaging nickel-cadmium batteries, never
charge them in an area where the temperature is above
90
° F or below 40 ° F.
Note: Nickel-cadmium batteries last longer and deliver more pow-
er if you occasionally let them fully discharge. To do this, simply
use the scanner until
BATT flashes on the scanner’s display and
the scanner beeps. Then fully charge the batteries.
RESETTING THE SCANNER
If the scanner’s display locks up or does not work properly after
you connect a power source, you might need to reset the scanner.
Caution: This procedure clears all the information you pro-
grammed into the scanner. Use this procedure only when you are
sure your scanner is not working properly.
1. If the scanner is on, turn VOLUME OFF/MAX counterclockwise
until it clicks to turn it off.
2. While you press and hold down the BAND/• and 0 keys, turn
on the scanner.
