CAUTIONS:
• The battery holder fits only one way. Do not force it.
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and rec-

• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of
batteries (alkaline or rechargeable), or rechargeable
batteries of different capacities.

appears and the
scanner beeps continuously. When battery power is de-
pleted, the scanner turns itself off. Replace all four non-
rechargeable batteries, or recharge the rechargeable
batteries. See “Charging Rechargeable Batteries”.
Charging Rechargeable Batteries
Your scanner has a built-in charging circuit that lets you
charge nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) or nickel cadmium
(Ni-CD) rechargeable batteries (not supplied) while they
are in the scanner. To charge rechargeable batteries, con-
nect an appropriate AC or DC adapter to the
PWR DC 9V
jack.
WARNING:
Always dispose of old batteries promptly and
properly. Do not bury or burn them.
