Realistic PRO-50 - Preparation; Power Sources; Installing Batteries

PREPARATION
POWER SOURCES
You can power your scanner from any of three sources:
• Internal batteries
• Your vehicle’s battery (using an optional DC adapter)
• Standard AC power (using an optional AC adapter)
For information on using power sources other than internal
batteries, see “Using an Optional Adapter.”
Installing Batteries
You can operate your scanner from six AA batteries. For the
longest battery life and optimum performance, we recom¬
mend alkaline batteries. Or, you can use rechargeable
nickel-cadmium batteries.
Caution: The PRO-50 has a built-in charging circuit that lets
you recharge nickel-cadmium batteries inside the battery
compartment. Flowever, you must not use this circuit when
you have installed non-rechargeable batteries.
Be sure to read “Using an Optional Adapter” and “Charging
Nickel-Cadmium Batteries.”
Follow these steps to install the batteries.
