  • Page 25: Charging The Battery

    Set Up Charging the Battery Before its first use, the scanner battery may need to be charged. It can be charged: • Using the cradle • Using a cable • Using the UBC 2000. Note: For a battery already in use, when the battery’s charge is almost depleted, the scanner emits 4 high tone beeps, when the trigger is pulled, indicating that it must be recharged.
  • Page 26: Charging Using A Cable

    Charging Using the UBC 2000 The battery can be charged using the Universal Battery Charger UBC 2000. The UBC adapter for the P460/P360/P470/P370 scanner battery is required. Refer to the UBC 2000 guide for information on recharging the battery using the UBC 2000.
  • Page 27: Changing The Battery

    Set Up Changing the Battery Once a battery is fully charged, it will generally last up to 12 hours without being returned to the cradle. By returning it to the cradle during the day, you extend this time. If a significant decrease in battery life is noticed and does not correspond to increased usage, consider replacing the battery.
