PREPARATION
POWER SOURCES
You can power your scanner from any of three sources:
• internal non-rechargeable batteries or rechargeable
batteries (not supplied — see “Using Batteries”)
• standard AC power (with an optional AC adapter —
see “Using AC Power” on Page 14)
• vehicle power (with an optional DC adapter — see
“Using Vehicle Power” on Page 15)
Notes:
• Connecting an AC or DC adapter to the scanner dis-
connects internal batteries when you use the sup-
plied non-rechargeable battery holder, but it does not
disconnect internal batteries when you use the sup-
plied rechargeable battery holder.
• If you install the rechargeable battery holder, you can
operate the scanner and recharge the rechargeable
batteries at the same time. See “Using Batteries”
below and “Charging Rechargeable Batteries” on
Page 13.
• If the scanner stops working properly after connect-
ing it to power, try resetting it. See “Resetting/Initial-
izing the Scanner” on Page 75.
Using Batteries
You can power the PRO-92 with six AA batteries. For the
longest operation and best performance, we recommend
alkaline batteries, available at your local RadioShack
store.
You can use either the supplied non-rechargeable black
battery holder, or the supplied rechargeable yellow bat-
tery holder. If you use the rechargeable battery holder,
we recommend RadioShack nickel-cadmium or nickel-
metal hydride batteries.
