1.1 BATTERY

The scanner is battery-powered: 1660 uses two AAA Alkaline batteries, while 1661 uses

a rechargeable 3.7 V/850 mAh Li-ion battery. For intensive data collection, you may

prepare spare battery or batteries for non-stop operation.

Note: (1) The rechargeable battery for 1661 may not be charged to full for shipment. We

suggest charging it to full before use.

(2) The scanner can be configured to save battery power. Refer to settings of

“

Auto Power Off & Power-Saving”, “Sniff Mode”, as well as “Low Battery Alarm”.
