Charging the Scanner Battery in the Cradle

For best performance, fully charge the digital scanner battery before using the digital scanner for the first time. To
charge the digital scanner battery, place the digital scanner in the cradle (see Inserting the Scanner in the Cradle
on page 1-10). The battery begins charging when the digital scanner LED indicator starts flashing green. A
complete charge of a fully discharged battery can take up to 4.5 hours using external power and up to 10 hours
using the interface cable.
Charge within the recommended temperature of 32° to 104° F (0° to 40° C) nominal, 41° to 95° F (5° to 35° C)
ideal.
For information on maximizing battery life, see Battery Maintenance on page 3-1.

Scanner Charging LED

The digital scanner's green LED indicates charging activity (see Table on page 2-4). If the digital scanner is
charging in fast mode (non-bus powered mode), the green LED blinks at a fast rate. If the digital scanner is
charging in slow mode (bus-powered mode), the LED blinks at a slow rate.
If the digital scanner's red LED begins flashing, indicating a charging problem, remove the digital scanner from the
cradle and replace the battery. If the red LED continues flashing, contact Motorola Support.
