Recharging Notes:
• Do not overcharge batteries. Overcharging
shortens battery life.
• Using the scanner while charging will increase
charge time.
• Your scanner provides an indication when
the internal battery charge circuit is active.
The battery icon briefly flashes approximately
once every second.
• The battery charge indicator does not provide
positive indication that the batteries are actually
being charged. Batteries will not charge unless
the yellow battery holder is used.
• Rechargeable batteries last longer and
deliver more power if you let them fully
discharge once a month. To do this, use the
scanner until the battery icon flashes.
Battery Notes:
• The battery icon appears when battery power
is low. As a second warning, the battery
icon flashes and the scanner beeps every 30
seconds.
• Each battery holder fits only one way. Do not
force it.
• Do not allow any metal objects such as key
rings, necklaces, etc. to touch the (+) and (–)
terminals when the battery holder contains
batteries. Do not carry or store the battery
holder with metal objects.
