Note: Do not overcharge Ni-Cd batteries. Overcharging caus-
es them to get hot and shortens their life.
It takes between 14 and 16 hours to recharge Ni-MH or 7 and 8
hours to recharge Ni-Cd batteries that are fully discharged.
You can operate the scanner while recharging the batteries,
but charging takes longer.
Note: Ni-Cd batteries last longer and deliver more power if you
occasionally let them fully discharge. To do this, simply use the
scanner until
flashes on the display and the scanner
beeps. Then fully charge the batteries.

Battery Recycling
Seal on the nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) battery indicates
RadioShack is voluntarily participating in an industry
program to collect and recycle these batteries at the end
of their useful life, when taken out of service in the Unit-
ed States or Canada. The RBRC program provides a convenient al-
ternative to placing used Ni-Cd batteries into the trash or the
municipal waste stream, which may be illegal in your area. Please
call 1-800-THE-SHACK (1-800-843-7422) for information on Ni-Cd
battery recycling and disposal bans/restrictions in your area.
RadioShack’s involvement in this program is part of the company’s
commitment to preserving our environment and conserving our natu-
ral resources.
CONNECTING AN ANTENNA
Connecting a Supplied Antenna
You must install an antenna before you can operate the scan-
ner.
The supplied stub antenna helps your
scanner receive most strong transmis-
sions at events and makes the scanner
easier to carry and use. The supplied
flexible antenna provides slightly better
reception and helps your scanner re-
ceive strong local signals. Follow these
steps to attach either antenna to the
scanner.
