Maintaining the LS 1004 Scanner

Battery Box Operation

When using the LS 1000 Series with a battery box, you can use either an alkaline battery
(recommended), or a nickel-cadmium rechargeable battery. Low power is signalled by 4
short, high-tone beeps, coupled with scanning interruptions. If this occurs, change or
recharge the battery as soon as possible. For battery box operation:
1. Insert a 9-volt battery into the battery box.
2. Plug the scanner's 9-pin connector at the end of the coil cord into the end of the
battery box.
3. An output cable from the battery box connects the LS 1004 to the host device.
Connect one end of this cable to the battery box and the other to the appropriate
port on the host device.
Note: Not all applications require a power supply or battery box. The
output cable depends on the wand being replaced.
Changing the Battery
1. Disconnect the battery box.
2. To open the battery box, push up on the flanges at one end of the pack.
3. Remove the old battery.
4. Insert the new or recharged 9-volt battery into the battery box. Match the
positive (+) and negative (-) terminals on the battery with the corresponding
terminals in the battery box.
