Codes” on page 8.
Charging the Battery
The SR61B uses a lithium-ion battery as its main power source. You
need to fully charge the battery before you can use the SR61B.
Make sure you fully charge the battery before you start using the
SR61B.
To charge the battery
• Place the SR61B with the battery installed in the desktop/wall
mount 1-bay charger (AC5).
Or,
• Remove the battery from the SR61B, and insert the battery into
the 2-bay, 4-bay, or 8-bay (AC6, AC7, or AC8) charger.
For more information, see “Required Accessories” on page 12.
Checking the Battery Status
The SR61B status light automatically displays a low battery signal
(blinking red) when less than 20% of the battery capacity remains. If
so, you need to charge the battery.
Status light signals are different when the scanner is docked in a
charger. For more information, see “Status Light” on page 6.
