Xenon Ultra 196X Series User Guide 41
Power is supplied to the scanner by a rechargeable battery that is integrated in the
scanner handle. Batteries are shipped only partially charged. The battery should be
charged for a minimum of 4 hours before initial use to ensure optimal
performance.
Battery Recommendations
• The battery is a lithium ion cell and can be used without a full charge, and can
also be charged without fully discharging, without impacting the battery life.
There is no need to perform any charge/discharge conditioning on this type of
battery.
• Keep the base connected to power when the host is not in use.
• Replace a defective battery immediately since it could damage the scanner.
• Avoid dropping the battery or device. If you suspect the battery and/or device is
damaged or if intermittent power and charging issues occur, send the relevant
device(s) to a Honeywell service center for inspection of the device and/or
battery.
• Although your battery can be recharged many times, it will eventually be
depleted. Replace it after the battery is unable to hold an adequate charge.
• Batteries should be replaced periodically, typically two years depending on the
specific device.
• If you are not sure if the battery or charger is working properly, send it to
Honeywell International Inc. or an authorized service center for inspection.
