CHARGING THE BATTERIES
Once the BC96XX is powered, you can charge the reader's batteries. Place the Power-
Scan™ PM96XX into the BC96XX base station. The LEDs on the base station/battery
charger turn green and flash orange / green when recharging begins.
The battery is completely charged when the Reader LED on the base station/battery
charger turns green.
The battery can also be charged using the Multi Battery Charger accessory.
NOTE: According to recent modification of Regulation for shipping Li-Ion
based battery packs, the products and their spare battery packs parts are
shipped with a very low residual charge (low state of charge).
Hence the needs:
• that a new product must be fully recharged before starting to use it.
and
• that battery packs of the stocked products PM96xx and spare battery
pack parts must be periodically recharged. For instance, by using a
BC96xx base station powered up with a 12V Datalogic AC/DC adapter
(cod.8-0935) for at least 30 minutes each 3 months.
The Battery Status information can be easily retrieved
by doubletapping with your fingers on top of the head
of the scanner
NOTE: The PowerScan PM96XX may get warm during charging: this is nor-
mal and does not mean a malfunction.
NOTE: Before using the battery, read "Battery Safety" page 4. Datalogic
recommends annual replacement of rechargeable battery packs to ensure
maximum performance.
