Powering.the.scanner; Installing Non-Rechargeable Batteries - Uniden BC125AT Owner's Manual

PoWering.the.scanner

You can power the scanner using alkaline (ALK) non-
rechargeable batteries (not supplied) or the included Nickel
Metal-Hydride (Ni-MH) rechargeable batteries. [Uniden provides
a USB cable to charge the Ni-MH batteries on initial installation
and to recharge them through your computer (or through a
power adapter that provides USB charge power (not included,
but available at many retailers).]
Inside the battery compartment is a switch to set the unit to
either ALK or Ni-MH.

CAUTIONS:
• When
every 15 seconds, recharge or replace the batteries.
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and
recommended type.
• Always remove old or weak batteries. Batteries can leak
chemicals that destroy electronic circuits.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries
(standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable
batteries of different capacities.

Installing Non-Rechargeable Batteries

1. Make sure the power is turned off.
2. Slide the battery compartment cover off.
3. Use a pointed object such as a ballpoint pen to set the
battery selection switch inside the compartment to AlK.
