Scanner Setup
To charge batteries:
1.
Set the Power Switch to Ni-MH.
2.
Install rechargeable batteries.
3.
Connect an external power source to the
DC 9V 300mA jack.
The scanner stops charging automatically after a
maximum of 14 hours.
Warning:
Do not attempt to charge batteries
if non-rechargeable batteries are installed in
the scanner and the switch is set to Ni-MH, or
if you are unsure of the switch’s position. Non-
rechargeable batteries will get hot and can explode
if you try to recharge them. The scanner displays
Er CHArg
if the wrong batteries are detected.
Battery Notes
•
When battery power is low,
flashes and
the scanner beeps every 15 seconds. When
battery power is depleted, the scanner turns
itself off.
•
Rechargeable batteries last longer and
deliver more power if you let them fully
discharge once a month. To do this, use the
scanner until
flashes.
•
Use only fresh batteries of the required size
and recommended type. Do not mix old
and new batteries, different types (alkaline
or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries
of different capacities.
•
Remove old or weak batteries. If you will not
use the scanner with batteries for a month,
remove the batteries. Batteries can leak
chemicals that destroy electronic circuits.
•
Always dispose of old batteries promptly
and properly. Do not bury or burn them.
