2.1.3 Placing the scanner into the cradle

Ensure that the scanner is placed properly into the respective smart or charging cradle. If the unit is not

placed correctly into the cradle, the charging might not start.

IDMx41: Insert the

scanner vertically

IDMx61: Insert the back of the scanner first.

Afterwards push the scanner head down.

The correct placement into the cradle can be verified by the charging LED on the scanner. (See also chapter

2.1.5 on page 14)

2.1.4 USB Bus power

• If USB 3.0 is available in your host device, both battery charging and regular operation can be

supported by the USB Bus Power without using external power supply.

• If you want to use this feature, set the USB bus power switch to “ON”. Then connect the cradle and

host device via an USB cable.

• If only USB 2.0 is available in your host device the external power supply is necessary as a power

source, because the power supplied from USB 2.0 is not enough to support both battery charging and

regular operation simultaneously.

Important information: Please charge the new battery pack for 8 hours prior to the first use. Ensure

that you are using a battery with enough capacity. Otherwise the scanner might lose its radio

connection. As soon as the scanner gives warning messages (one red blink and one beep at a

regular interval) the scanner needs to be recharged. If the scanner gives 8 red blinks and 8 beeps,

the battery power is extremely low. In that case the battery needs to be recharged immediately! If the

scanner is not placed into the charging cradle right the way, the scanner turns off automatically. Due

to an internal protection circuit there will now be measured 0 V on the outside contacts of the

battery. If the battery is not recharged immediately, a further discharge takes place even though the

scanner is turned off. Due to the internal chemical processes of lithium ion batteries, this will then

result in an irreversible destruction of the battery.
