This unit is equipped with battery
recharging circuitry, enabling you to
use NiCad batteries and recharge them
while they are still in the battery
comaprtment.
It is always a good idea to let nickel-
cadmium batteries run all the way
down before charging them. Then
when you do charge them, do so to
their full potential and they will last
longer and provide more power.

1. Install six nickel-cadmium batteries.
2. Connect the AC adapter to the
CHARGE jack.
Use the CHARGE jack only if
you have rechargeable
nickel-cadmium batteries
installed.
DO NOT CONNECT AN AC
ADAPTER TO THE CHARGE JACK IF
YOU HAVE NON-RECHARGEABLE
BATTERIES INCLUDED. If you try to
recharge non-rechargeable
batteries, you may cause serious
injury to yourself and/or severely
damage the scanner. The adapter
you use must supply 9 volts with the
center tip set to negative. It also
must fit properly into the POWER
jack and deliver at least 300
milliamperes.
