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.

Alkaline batteries when used in the Paragon can and do explode creating
one heck of mess. Don't use them. Jim K1QCF
