When battery power is low, Low battery! appears and
the scanner beeps continuously. When battery power

batteries. See "Charging Rechargeable Batteries".
Always dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.
Notes Notes
Do not bury or burn them.
If you do not plan to use the scanner with batteries for a
month or longer, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak
chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.

Your scanner has a built-in charging circuit that lets you
charge nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) or nickel cadmium (Ni-
CD) rechargeable batteries (not supplied) while they are in
the scanner. To charge rechargeable batteries, connect an
appropriate AC or DC adapter to the PWR DC 9V jack. For
best results we recommend RadioShack rechargeable nickel-
metal hydride (Ni-MH) 1600 mAh batteries.
