10 Preparation ˆ Prepar ation You can power yo ur scanner fro m any of three sources : • internal batteri es (not su pplied) • standard AC power (u sing an o ptional AC adapter ) • vehicl e bat.
11 Preparation 3. Before you install alkaline or any other non- rechargeable batt eries, use a pointed obje ct such as a ballpoint pen to set ALKALINE JACK NI- CD inside the compartmen t t o ALKALINE . Warn ing: Set ALKALINE JACK NI-CD to NI-CD for use only wi th nickel c admium (N i-Cd) or nic kel metal h ydride (Ni-M H) rechar geable ba tteries.
12 Preparation 5. Repla ce the co ver , insertin g the low er tabs fi rst. When BATT .Lo flashes and the scanner b eeps ever y 15 second s, repl ac e all four batt erie s. Warn ing: Always dispose of old batteries promptly and prope rly. Do not bury or burn them.
13 Preparation Important: Thi s scanner ca n use Ni -Cd recharge able batt eries. At the end of a Ni-Cd batt ery’s useful l ife, it mu st be re- cycle d or dispos ed of properly .
14 Preparation scanne r and rec harges th e instal led batte ries at th e same ti me. USING V EHICLE BATTERY POWER You can p ower the sca nner from a v ehicle’s 1 2V power source (such as cigare tte-lighte r socket) using a 9V, 300 mA DC adapt er an d a si ze H Ad aptap lug (n eith er sup - plied).
