OURCES

You can power your scanner from
any of three sources:

• internal non-rechargeable

batteries or rechargeable
batteries (not supplied — see
“Using Batteries”).

• standard AC power (with an

optional AC adapter — see
“Using AC Power” on
Page 11)

• vehicle power (with an

optional DC adapter — see
“Using Vehicle Battery Power”
on Page 12)

Ô

Using Batteries

You can power the scanner with
four AA batteries (not supplied).
For the longest operation and best
performance, we recommend
alkaline batteries, available at your
local RadioShack store.

You can use either the supplied
non-rechargeable battery holder
(black), or the supplied
rechargeable battery holder
(yellow). If you use the
rechargeable battery holder, we
recommend RadioShack nickel-
metal hydride (Ni–MH) batteries.

NOTE

Ô

Connecting an AC
or DC adapter to
the scanner dis-
connects internal
batteries when you
use the supplied
non-rechargeable
battery holder, but
it does not discon-
nect internal bat-
teries when you
use the supplied
rechargeable
battery holder.

If you install the
rechargeable
battery holder, you
can operate the
scanner and re-
charge the re-
chargeable
batteries at the
same time. See
“Using Batteries”
and “Charging
Rechargeable
Batteries” on
Page 11.

If the scanner
stops working
properly after
connecting it to
power, try
resetting it. See
“Resetting/
Initializing the
Scanner” on
Page 83.

You must charge
rechargeable
batteries before
you use them the
first time. See
“Charging
Rechargeable
Batteries” on
Page 11.
