Installing the Battery Pack As with other types of batteries, Lithium-Ion (LI) batteries will lose capacity over time. Capacity deterioration is noticeable after one year of service whether the battery is in use or not. It is difficult to precisely predict the finite life of a LI battery, but cell manufacturers rate them at 500 charge cycles.
Installing the Battery Pack Charging the Batteries Once the BC 90x0 is powered, you can charge the reader's ™ batteries. Place the PowerScan M9501 into the BC 90x0 cradle. The Reader LED on the cradle/battery charger turns red. The battery is completely charged when the Reader LED on the cradle/battery charger turns green.
Programming Programming The reader is factory-configured with a set of standard default features. Customize your reader through use of the programming bar codes available in the PowerScan™ PM9501-RT. Check the corresponding features section for your interface, and also the Data Editing and Symbologies chapters of the PRG.
