longest operation and best performance,

Caution: Your scanner can keep channels stored

its

minutes
even
with the
AC
cord

plugged
and
the 9-volt battery disconnected. But, to avoid
loss of memory information, do not unplug the scanner
when replacing the battery.
In
addition, never leave a weak or dead battery
in
your
scanner; even "leakproof" batteries
can
leak damaging
chemicals. Battery life
is
about six months when household
AC
power or automotive
DC
power
is
off for a prolonged
period of time.
