Realistic PRO-43 - Charging Nickel-Cadmium Batteries

Charging Nickel-Cadmium Batteries
You can charge nickel-cadmium batteries without removing
them from the scanner. To charge the batteries, connect an
AC or DC adapter to the CHG jack as explained in "Power
Sources."
Warning: Do not try to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
They can become hot and even explode.
it takes 10 to 18 hours to recharge fully discharged batter¬
ies. You can operate the scanner while you charge the bat¬
teries, but the charging time is ionger.
Do not use any adapter other than those specified in "Power
Sources" to charge the batteries in the scanner. While
adapters of the same voltage rating and at least the mini¬
mum current rating could power the scanner, other adapters
might not work properly with the charging circuit in your
scanner, and could permanently damage the batteries or
your scanner.
Charging Hints:
• To ensure a full charge, do not charge the batteries in an
area where the temperature is below 40°F. Doing so does
not damage the batteries, but they are unable to accept a
full charge in that situation.
• To prevent permanent nickel-cadmium battery power
loss, never charge your batteries in an area where the
temperature is above 80°F. Also, if you use an external
charger, do not overcharge the batteries.
