If this has been asked before, please point me in the right direction.....I received a brand new 436 for Christmas and wanted to know if it will mess anything up if I have it plugged in to either my computer or to power outlet while scanner is on.....I understand that the batteries WILL NOT charge if the scanner is on, but didn't know if it runs STRICTLY on the batteries or if there is an internal "switch"(for lack of a better term)that would tell the scanner that power is being supplied from AC/external power source.....cannot find answer in manual anywhere
