Charging Information; Battery Recommendations - Honeywell Xenon 1900 User Manual

Power is supplied to the cordless scanner by a rechargeable battery that is inte-
grated in the scanner handle. Batteries are shipped approximately 30% to 60%
charged and should be fully charged for maximum charge capacity.

Charging Information

The battery is designed to charge while the scanner is positioned in the
cordless base unit. Refer to
6, for an interpretation of the Charge Status indicators.
Place the scanner in the base that is connected to an appropriate power
supply.
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.
• If you are not sure if the battery or charger is working properly, send it to
Honeywell International Inc. or an authorized service center for
inspection. Refer to
information.
Safety Precautions for Lithium Batteries
• Do not place batteries in fire or heat the batteries.
• Do not store batteries near fire or other high temperature locations.
• Do not store or carry batteries together with metal objects.
• Do not expose batteries to water or allow the batteries to get wet.
• Do not connect (short) the positive and negative terminals, of the
batteries, to each other with any metal object.
• Do not pierce, strike, or step on batteries or subject batteries to strong
impacts or shocks.
• Do not disassemble or modify batteries.
