. Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type.

. Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or

rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.

. Discontinue use of any battery that exhibits leakage, swelling, or abnormal generation of

heat.

. If you do not plan to use the scanner for a month or longer, remove the batteries. Batteries

can leak chemicals that can damage electronic parts.

Using AC/DC Power

To power the scanner from AC or DC (powered by cigarette-lighter socket) power, you need

a supplied AC or optional DC adaptor.

Cautions:

. If you use AC power, you must use a supplied AC adaptor.

. You must optional DC adaptor that supplies 6 volts and delivers at least 300 mA. Its center

tip must be set to negative, and its barrel plug must correctly fit the scanner’s PWR jack

(4.75mm outer/1.7mm inner plug). The recommended adaptor meets these specifications.

Using an adaptor that does not need these specifications could damage the scanner or the

adaptor.

. When you finish using the AC or DC adaptor, disconnect it from the AC (or cigarette-lighter

socket) outlet first. Then disconnect it from the scanner.

2. Make sure Ni-MH batteries are installed and the Battery Type Selector switch is set to

Ni-MH.

3. Plug the AC or DC power adaptor into the PWR jack.
