BATTERY CHARGING AND
EXTERNAL POWER SOURCES
NOTE: The provided 12V DC power cord is
intended ONLY for DC operation, not for
charging batteries.
The power jack located on
the radio enables you to use the 12V DC power
cord to power the radio directly from your
vehicle's electrical system.
Use Maxon's optional AC/DC Wall Battery
Charger (DV-7210) for recharging the nickel
cadmium batteries in the radio.
NOTE: Recharge
nickel cadmium batteries only.
For maximum performance and to ensure maximum
range always keep fresh batteries in your radio. If
you do not wish to recharge the batteries periodi-
cally, use standard carbon zinc or alkaline batteries.
You can operate the HCB-40WX in your home
by using a standard 120V AC outlet. Contact your
local electronics retailer for a 120V AC to 12V DC
(1500 mA minimum current capacity) power
converter. It must be equipped with a coaxial
barrel-type plug having an inside barrel diameter
of 0.085 inch (2.1mm).
NOTE:
If you choose to use nickel cadmium
batteries when operating your HCB-40WX radio,
please follow proper procedures for recycling/
disposal. Contact one of the following facilities
