2.1 Loading the Batteries
Batteries are not included in the package. Have batteries compliant with the IEC 60086-2 standard on hand, such as LR6 (AA)
alkaline batteries or LR6 (AA) rechargeable nickel-metal hydride batteries.
Before replacing the batteries, first turn the scanner off.
Be sure to set the battery type.
Load the batteries correctly by the following procedure.
(1) Unlock the battery cover lock (1) and remove the
battery cover (2).
(2) Make sure that the new batteries are in the correct
orientation when inserting them. Insert the new
batteries in the direction indicated by the arrow.
The scanner will not function if the batteries are
inserted incorrectly.
When removing batteries, remove them from the plus
(+) end.
(3) Insert the battery cover tab (1), and then close the
battery cover (2). The battery cover is now locked in
position.
(4) Set the type of battery.
The type of battery needs to be set only if it is going to
be changed. When the scanner leaves the factory, the
default setting is “LR6 (AA) alkaline batteries”.
