Reconditioning the Linear Imager Scanner Battery
To maintain optimal performance of the linear imager scanner NiMH battery, perform a battery recondition
approximately once a year.
To begin the battery recondition cycle:
1. Scan Battery Recondition below.
Battery Recondition
2. Place the linear imager scanner into the cradle.
3. The linear imager scanner must perform two charge cycles to complete the battery reconditioning process
(discharge/charge/discharge/charge). See Table 1-4.
Battery Reconditioning LED Definitions
NOTE If the scanner is removed from the cradle during the battery reconditioning cycle, the scanner exits the
battery reconditioning mode of operation and returns to the normal mode of battery charging (see
Charging the Linear Imager Scanner Battery on page 1-12). To restart the battery reconditioning cycle,
re-scan the Battery Recondition parameter and place the scanner in the cradle.
