About the Battery
Power is supplied to the cordless scanner by a rechargeable battery that is inte-
grated in the scanner handle. Batteries are shipped only partially charged. The bat-
tery should be charged for a minimum of 4 hours before initial use to ensure
optimal performance.
Charge Information
The battery is designed to charge while the scanner is positioned in the cordless
base unit. Refer to Base/Access Point LED Sequences and Meaning,page 49, for
an interpretation of the Charge Status indicators. Refer to Charge Only Mode (page
54) if you need to charge a scanner without linking it to the base.
Place the scanner in the base that is connected to an appropriate power supply.
Use only a Listed Limited Power Source (LPS) or Class 2 type power supply with
output rated 5 to 5.2Vdc, 1A.
Note: If you are powering the base through the interface cable (for example, a USB cable)
and not using an external power supply plugged into the aux port, the current
available for charging is reduced and charge times are increased.
Battery Recommendations
• The battery is a lithium ion cell and can be used without a full charge, and can
also be charged without fully discharging, without impacting the battery life.
There is no need to perform any charge/discharge conditioning on this type of
battery.
• Keep the base connected to power when the host is not in use.
• Replace a defective battery immediately since it could damage the scanner.
• Although your battery can be recharged many times, it will eventually be
depleted. Replace it after the battery is unable to hold an adequate charge.
Warning: There is a danger of explosion if the batteries are incorrectly
replaced. Replace the batteries with only the same or equivalent
type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used
batteries according to the recycle program for batteries as
directed by the governing agency for the country where the
batteries are to be discarded.
