Charging the Linear Imager Scanner Battery
Fully charge the linear imager scanner battery before using the linear imager scanner for the first time. To
charge the linear imager scanner battery, place the linear imager scanner in the cradle, ensuring that the metal
contacts on the bottom of the linear imager scanner touch the contacts on the cradle. A complete charge of a
fully discharged battery can take typically three hours using external power and typically five hours when
powered from a host.
For battery charging LED indicators see Table 1-3 and Table 2-2 on page 2-5. See Table 1-4 on page 1-13 for
battery reconditioning LED indicators.
