BATTERY CHARGING AND
EXTERNAL POWER SOURCES
NOTE: The provided 12V DC power cord is
intended ONLY for DC operation, not 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-10C 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). The center conductor of the plug must be
connected to the positive lead of your power
source.
NOTE: If you choose to use nickel cadmium
batteries when operating your HCB-10C radio,
please follow proper procedures for recycling/
disposal. Contact one of the following facilities
