• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and
recommended type. Do not mix old and new
batteries, different types (alkaline or rechargeable),
or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
Doing so can damage the batteries, causing
chemical leaks, fire, or explosions.
• Do not overcharge batteries. Overcharging
shortens battery life.
• 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 only charge in the
yellow battery holder.
• 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.
• The battery icon appears when battery power is
low. As a second warning, the battery icon flashes
and the scanner beeps every 30 seconds.
• Remove old or weak batteries. If you will not use
the scanner with batteries for a month, remove the
batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that destroy
electronic circuits.
