Ensure the battery contacts of the battery pack are facing the charging contacts inside the battery
cavity.

cap. The scanner will give 4 beeps when the battery pack is installed properly if the battery pack still
has power.

the power-on beeps and the central (IDMx4x)/ upper (IDMx6x) power indicator gives one blue blink. If
you use the charging cradle, the central (IDMx4x)/ upper (IDMx6x) power indicator turns steady blue.

not fully charged. When the battery is fully charged, the status indicator of the scanner turns steady
