About the Battery Pack
Power is supplied to the Cordless Scanner by a rechargeable
battery pack that snaps onto the bottom of the scanner. Each
scanner is shipped with a battery pack
. Battery packs are
offered in a choice of a Nickel Cadmium (NiCad) cells,
as an entry level solution, or a premium battery pack
based on Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) cells.
(See
Battery Specifications in the Cordless System
Manual for the differences between the two types of
battery packs, as well as storage information.)
Order backup battery pack(s) or replacement batteries from your distributor.
North American Charging Information
The battery pack is designed to plug into any two prong North American AC
power outlet (110/120 Volt) for direct charging. You need no additional
equipment and you can recharge the pack virtually anywhere.
Worldwide Charging Information
The battery pack is rated for 110/120 50/60 Hz applications but may be
recharged worldwide using a step down transformer. The step down
transformer, provided with each Cordless Scanner shipped outside North
America, changes typical 240V AC into 120V AC output. All batteries shipped
outside North America are fused to protect against charging at any higher
voltage than 120V AC.
Contact your distributor for more information or to order additional step down
transformers.

•
Charge the battery for 24 hours the first two or more times to fully charge
the battery.
•
Charge the battery pack immediately before use or at least within a
couple of days of use.
•
Remove the battery pack from the power outlet after charging is
completed. Avoid extended overcharging; do not leave the battery
charging for more than two days.

Periodically fully discharge the battery pack.
•
Avoid using the battery pack in extreme temperatures.
•
Do not disassemble the battery pack. There are no user-serviceable
