POWER SOURCES
You can power your scanner from any of three sources:
• Internal batteries
• Standard AC power (using an optional AC adapter}
• Vehicle battery power (using an optional DC adapter)
Using Internal Batteries
You can power your scanner with four AA batteries. For the longest life
and best performance, we recommend alkaline batteries. Or, you can
use rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries.
Follow these steps to install or replace batteries.
1. Push up the tab on the back of the scanner and lift open the bat¬
tery compartment cover.
2. Remove any old batteries from the compartment and cover,
Caution: Always dispose of old non-rechargeable batteries
promptly and properly. Do not bury or bum them.
