Charging the Scanner
Use the included AC adapter to charge the Cordless Hand Scanner. The included
NiMH batteries must be charged for at least 4 hours before initial use.
The Battery Status LED will emit a solid red light while charging, and turn off when
the batteries are fully charged (see back cover for more information about the LED).
A fully charged scanner should provide roughly 8 hours of normal operation.
WARNING: Charge only NiMH batteries in the CHS. Damage may occur if
alkaline or other types of batteries are charged. Do not store the CHS for more
than 30 days with the batteries installed.
Besides the included AC Adapter, you can charge the CHS using AC and DC
adapters of the most recent Pocket PCs from Casio, Dell, Fujitsu, HP and Toshiba.
The adapter rating is 5V, 2A, positive pole center.
The red Battery Status LED will not function properly if standard AAA alkaline
batteries are being used.
A charging cradle is available separately for the CHS 7P (not
compatible with 7E or 7M).
