However, you must never use this circuit when you have installed non-rechargeable batteries in the scanner. Press the tab on the battery compartment cover, and lift off the cover.
Remove any old batteries from the compartment and cover. Caution: Always dispose of old non-rechargeable batteries promptly and properly.
Do not bury or burn them. Always remove old or weak batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that destroy electronic circuits. If B flashes on the display and the scanner beeps every 15 seconds, immediately replace or recharge all four batteries. It is important that you understand the purpose of each jack before you connect any adapter to the scanner. You can use this jack to connect an external power source AC adapter or DC power cord regardless of the type of batteries you install. If you try to recharge non-rechargeable batteries, they become very hot and could explode.
The recommended adapter meets these specifications. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the scanner or the adapter. Then disconnect the adapter from the AC outlet before you disconnect it from the scanner.
This powers the scanner and recharges the batteries at the same time. Using a power cord that does not meet these specifications could damage the scanner or the power cord. Welcome to ManualMachine. We have sent a verification link to to complete your registration. Log In Sign Up. Forgot password?
