8 PREPARATION P OWER SOUR CES You can power yo ur scanner fro m any of thre e sources: • int er na l ba tter i es • standard A C po wer (usin g an optiona l A C adapter) • v eh icle battery pow er (usi ng an optional DC adapter ) INSTALLING BATTERIES Your scan ner requires 4 AA batte ries (not supplied) fo r power.
9 2. Install two batteries in the compartment an d two in the co v er as indicate d by the polarity symbol s (+ and –) marked in side each loca tion. 3. Replac e the co ver . When BATT.Lo flashes and the sc anner b eep s ever y 15 s econds , im- mediate ly replace o r rechar ge all four ba tteries.
10 The PO W ER jack powers the scanner an d disconnec ts the inte rnal bat- teries. You can use this jack to connect an exter nal power sourc e (AC or DC ad apter), regard less of the type of ba tteries yo u install. The CHARGE jack suppli es power to operate the scan ner and also charges the interna l batteries.
11 Cautions: • Y ou must u se an A C adapter that s upplies 9 volts and deliv ers at least 300 mA. Its cente r tip mus t be set to nega tiv e and its pl ug must fit the scanner’ s PO WE R jac k. The reco mmended adapter meets thes e specific ations .
12 4. Plug th e other e nd of th e adapte r into y our v ehicle’ s cigarette - lighter s oc ket. Note: If t he scanner do es not operate prop erly when you us e a DC adapter, un plug the adapt er from the cigarette-lig hter socket and clean the soc ket to remov e ashes and other debri s.
