User's Manual

• Connecting an AC or DC adapter to the scanner disconnects internal batteries when

you use the supplied non-rechargeable battery holder, but it does not disconnect

internal batteries when you use the supplied yellow rechargeable battery holder.

• If you install the yellow rechargeable battery holder, you can operate the scanner and

recharge the rechargeable batteries at the same time. See “Using Batteries” and

“Charging Rechargeable Batteries” on Page 24.

• If the scanner stops working properly after connecting it to power, try resetting it. See

“RESETTING/INITIALIZING THE SCANNER” on Page 104.

• You must charge rechargeable batteries before you use them the first time. See

“Charging Rechargeable Batteries” on Page 26.

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.

WARNING

Never install non-rechargeable batteries in the rechargeable yellow battery holder.

Non-Rechargeable batteries can get hot or explode if you try to recharge them.

CAUTION

• The battery holder fits only one way. Do not force it.

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

• Always remove old or weak batteries. Old batteries can leak chemicals that destroy

electronic circuits.
