non-rechargeable batteries
(standard, extra-life, or alka-
line). Non-rechargeable bat-
teries become hot and could
explode if you try to re-
charge them.
It takes between 14 and 16
hours to recharge Ni-Cd re-
chargeable batteries that are
fully discharged. You can
operate the scanner while
recharging the batteries, but
charging takes longer.
Note: Ni-Cd batteries last
longer and deliver more
power if you occasionally let
them fully discharge. To do
this, simply use the scanner
until BATT.Lo flashes and
the scanner beeps every 15
seconds. Then fully charge
the batteries.
Important:
This scanner
can use Ni-
Cd recharge-
able
ies. At
end of a Ni-Cd battery's use-
ful life, it must be recycled or
disposed of properly. Con-
tact your local, county, or
state hazardous waste man-
agement authorities for infor-
mation on recycling
disposal programs in your
area or call 1-800-843-7422.
Some options that might be
available are: municipal
curbside collection, drop-off
boxes at retailers such as
your local RadioShack store,
recycling collection centers,
and mail-back programs.
