Using Ac Power; Using Vehicle Battery Power - Radio Shack PRO-96 Owner's Manual

Rechargeable batteries last longer and deliver more power if you let them fully
discharge once a month. To do this, use the scanner until Low Battery! appears in
the scanner's display. Then fully charge the rechargeable batteries.

Using AC Power

You can power the scanner using a 9V, 300 mA AC adapter and a size C Adaptaplug™
(neither supplied). Both are available at your local RadioShack store.
1. Connect the Adaptaplug™ to the adapter's cord with the tip set to positive.
CAUTION
! You must use a Class 2 power source that supplies 9V DC and delivers at least 300
mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the scanner's PWR DC
9V jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the
scanner or the adapter.
Note
Always connect the AC or DC adapter to the scanner before you connect it to AC
power source. When you finish, disconnect the adapter form AC power or the power
source before you disconnect it from the scanner.
2. Plug the adapter's barrel plug into the scanner's PWR DC 9V jack.
3. Plug the adapter's two-prong plug into an AC outlet.

Using Vehicle Battery Power

You can power the scanner from a vehicle's 12V power source (such as cigarette-lighter
socket) using a 9V, 300 mA DC adapter and a size C Adaptaplug™ adapter (neither
supplied). Both are available at your local RadioShack store.
