Powering Your Scanner

Using Batteries
Your scanner has a built-in charging circuit to maintain
peak performance of your Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH)
or Nickel Cadmium (Ni-CD) rechargeable batteries (not
supplied) while they are in the scanner.
For the best performance, use alkaline batteries. For
rechargeable battery holder, we recommend nickel-metal
hydride (Ni-MH) batteries. You must charge rechargeable
batteries before you use them the first time.
