Battery Preservation Mode
Parameter # 1765
SSI # F8h 06h E5h
Battery Preservation Mode preserves the battery charge when the digital scanner is not being used for an
extended period of time.
• Scan Enable Battery Preservation Mode to internally disconnect the battery from the digital scanner when
the digital scanner is unused and not being charged for nine hours. In this mode the scanner completely
turns off. This preserves the battery charge as there is no current drain on the battery and significantly
extends battery shelf life. To exit Battery Preservation Mode and return to normal operation either press the
digital scanner trigger or return to charging. The digital scanner cannot scan until the wake up process is
complete. This takes a few seconds.
• Scan Disable Battery Preservation Mode to keep the battery connected to the digital scanner at all times.
This prevents the battery from being disconnected from the scanner after nine hours of sitting idle (no
scanning) and not charging. When Battery Preservation Mode is disabled, substantial battery shelf life
improvements are not gained as compared to when Battery Preservation Mode is enabled.
NOTES 1. Low Power Mode ((4-11) must be enabled for Battery Preservation Mode to take effect.
2. When asleep in Battery Preservation Mode, the digital scanner cannot be accessed for remote
management.
