• Use only fresh batteries of the required size
and recommended type. Do not mix old and
new batteries, different types (alkaline or
rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of
different capacities. Doing so can damage
the batteries, causing chemicals or lead leaks,
fire, or explosions.
• Always turn off the scanner when you are not
using it. If the scanner remains on until the
batteries are dead, the batteries may leak
chemicals.
• Remove old or weak batteries. If you will not
use the scanner with batteries for a month,
remove the batteries. Batteries can leak
chemicals that destroy electronic circuits.
• In the event that a battery leaks, shows
transformation, discoloration, or abnormal
generation of heat, stop operation and
replace the batteries with new ones.
• Always dispose of old batteries promptly and
properly. Do not bury or burn them.
Recycle Rechargeable Batteries
Placing rechargeable batteries
in the trash can be harmful to the
environment. Instead, recycle old rechargeable
batteries at your local RadioShack store free of
charge. RadioShack participates in the RBRC©
battery recycling program, and is committed
to preserving the environment and conserving
natural resources. Call 1-800-THE-SHACK
(1-800-843-7422) for more information.
External Power
You can power your scanner using a
Class 2 power source that supplies
9V DC and delivers at least 500mA.
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.
To use an external power
source:
1. Always connect the adapter
(not supplied) to the scanner
first.
2. Plug the adapter into the
power source.
3. To disconnect, unplug the adapter from the
power source first.
Notes:
• If you use an external power source for
regular operation, install alkaline batteries for
emergencies. Rechargeable batteries will self-
discharge, even when not used, and could
have no usable power.
• To avoid injury, do not connect the adapter to
a ceiling outlet.
Headphones and Speakers
You can plug headphones or an amplified
speaker (neither included) into headphone
jack on top of the scanner. This automatically
disconnects the internal speaker.
