1.1 BATTERY
The scanner is powered by a rechargeable 3.7 V/800 mAh Li-ion battery, and it takes
approximately 5 hours to charge the battery to full (from the power adaptor). However,
the charging time may vary by working condition. For intensive data collection, you may
purchase a spare battery for non-stop operation.
Note: The scanner can be configured to save battery power. Refer to settings of “
Auto
Power Off & Power-Saving”, “CCD Sensor Always Active”, “Sniff Mode”, as well as
“
Low Battery Alarm”.
