Charging the Scanner Battery
Fully charge the scanner battery before using the scanner for the first time. To charge the scanner battery, place
the scanner in the cradle, ensuring that the metal contacts on the bottom of the scanner touch the contacts on the
cradle. The battery begins charging when the scanner LED indicator starts flashing green. A complete charge of a
fully discharged battery can take up to three hours using external power and up to five hours using non-external
cable power.
Charging LED
When powered up, the cradle LED is always green. The scanner LED flashes a green during charging. See Table
2-2 on page 2-3 for all charging LED indications.
Reconditioning the Scanner Battery
To maintain optimal performance of the scanner NiMH battery, perform a battery recondition approximately once a
year.
To begin the battery recondition cycle:
1. Scan Battery Recondition below.
Battery Recondition
2. Place the scanner into the cradle.
3. The scanner must perform two charge cycles to complete the battery reconditioning process
(discharge/charge/discharge/charge). See Table 1-1.
CAUTION To avoid a battery temperature fault, always charge the battery in the scanner within the
recommended temperature of 32° to 104° F (0° to 40° C) nominal, 41° to 95° F (5° to 35° C) ideal.
CAUTION If the scanner is removed from the cradle during the battery reconditioning cycle, the scanner exits the
battery reconditioning mode of operation and returns to the normal mode of battery charging (see
Charging the Scanner Battery). To restart the battery reconditioning cycle, re-scan the Battery
Recondition parameter and place the scanner in the cradle..
