2.5.2 Charging the
Batteries
The battery can be charged by connecting the reader directly to a host through the micro-USB
connector available in the bottom of the handle, as shown.
Alternatively, simply insert the handheld reader into the base. When the reader is fully seated in
the cradle, it will sound a “chirp” to indicate that the cradle has detected the reader connection.
The LEDs on the base will indicate the status of the battery.
