I have spent the past two days searching the forums for similar problems but no success:
After running through a set of batteries in about a month (I listen about every other day for an hour or so), I decided to switch to Rechargeable Batteries. I Went to RS and picked up a set of their 2100mah Ni-Mh Rechargeables. After a two full charges on an external charger, I threw them in the scanner and it turned on, then immediately turned off after giving the low battery beep.
I have switched the selector inside of the battery compartment to the correct setting (Ni-MH) and plugged it into the AC adapter. The screen shows "Pre-Charging" for about 30-40 seconds then displays "No Battery". I checked the battery contacts and there is no sign of any damage that I can see. I have tried and tried to get the scanner to run on batteries, but have just about given up.
Does anyone have any suggestions??? I would appreciate hearing any relevant solutions so that I can get this think working before the bad weather moves into the area tomorrow. Thanks in advance- Robby
