Important Information about the External
Power Jacks
The scanner has two external power jacks — PWR and CHG.
It is important that you understand the purpose of each jack
before you connect any adapter to the scanner.
The PWR jack powers the scanner and disconnects the in¬
ternal batteries. You can use this jack with an external power
source regardless of the type of batteries you install.
The CHG jack supplies power to operate the scanner and
also applies power to the internal batteries to charge them.
Use the CHG jack only when you install rechargeable nickel-
cadmium batteries.
Warning: Never use the CHG jack with non-rechargeable
batteries. If you try to recharge non-rechargeable batteries
they become very hot and could explode.
Note. See Using External Power" for information on usina
external power.
