Using Internal Batteries
You can power your scanner using three alkaline or rechargeable AA batteries.
There is no switch. The scanner will automatically detect and not charge non-
rechargeable batteries.
1. Install 3 AA batteries, matching the polarity symbols (+ -).
2. Replace the cover.
When Battery icon flashes and the scanner beeps every 15 seconds, replace or
recharge the batteries.
Using Rechargeable Batteries
You can also use three rechargeable batteries to power your scanner. Before you
use rechargeable batteries, you must charge them. The scanner has a built-in
circuit that lets you recharge batteries while they are in the scanner.
If the USB cable is connected to the scanner, or batteries are installed in the
scanner when an USB cable is connected, the scanner will check the battery
condition.
When the scanner is turned on, the scanner does not charge the battery.
When the scanner is turned off, the scanner will charge the battery.
The scanner displays "Normal Charging" while charging the battery according to
the Set Charge Time setting.
If the batteries are not installed, "No Battery" is displayed.
