PREPARATION
POWER SOURCES
You can power your scanner from any of three sources:
• internal non-rechargeable batteries or rechargeable batteries (not supplied
– see “Using Batteries”).
• standard AC power (with a supplied AC adaptor – see ”Using AC Power” on
Page 9).
• vehicle power (with an optional DC adaptor – see “Using Vehicle Battery
Power” on Page 9).
Notes:
• Connecting an AC or DC adaptor to the scanner disconnects internal batter-
ies when you use the supplied non-rechargeable battery holder (black), but
it does not disconnect internal batteries when you use the supplied recharge-
able battery holder (yellow).
• If you install the rechargeable battery holder, you can operate the scanner
and recharge the rechargeable batteries at the same time. See “Using Bat-
teries” and “Charging Rechargeable Batteries” on Page 8.
• If the scanner stops working properly after connecting it to power, try reset-
ting it. See “Initializing your Scanner” on Page 56).
USING BATTERIES
You can power the scanner with four AA batteries (not supplied). For the long-
est operation and best performance, we recommend alkaline batteries.
You can use either the supplied non-rechargeable battery holder (black), or
the supplied rechargeable battery holder (yellow). If you use the rechargeable
battery holder, we recommend nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries.
Note: You must charge rechargeable batteries before you use them the first
time. See “Charging Rechargeable Batteries” on Page 8.
Cautions:
• The battery holder fits only one way. Do not force it.
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
• Always remove old or weak batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that de-
stroy electronic circuits.
Warning: Never install non-rechargeable batteries in the rechargeable yel-
low battery holder. Non-rechargeable batteries can get hot or explode if you
try to recharge them.
