[TenTec] Paragon

[Robert & Linda McGraw K4TAX]

Although the Tentec Paragon manual states that one can use an alkaline 
battery or a Ni-Cad battery it is not advised to use the alkaline battery 
for the reason stated by Jim.  A 9 volt Ni-Cad will work just fine.  Be sure 
to follow the exact procedure for initially connecting the battery.  Failure 
to do so can or will corrupt the ROM operating system.
