Your scanner has a built-in
charging circuit that lets you
charge nickel-metal hydride (Ni-
MH) or nickel cadmium (Ni-CD)
rechargeable batteries (not
supplied) while they are in the
scanner. To charge rechargeable
batteries, you need to use a 9V
AC adapter (RadioShack Cat. No.
273-1767) or 10V DC adapter
(Cat. No. 273-1830) and a size C
Adaptaplug™ adapter (neither
supplied). Both are available at
your local RadioShack store.
