Power Mobile Version – Battery Issues There are two batteries in the IDVisor scanner. One powers the bar code/magnetic stripe scanner and its charge state is indicated by the LED on the side of the case. The other battery is built into the Palm Z22 PDA and its charge state is visible at the top of the main screen.
Do not use a wall charger other than that supplied by Tokenworks. Using one with a higher voltage or reversed polarity will damage the scanner. Using one with a lower voltage or current rating will not charge the batteries.

If the batteries become low, an alert appears on the handheld screen describing the low battery condition. If this alert appears, reconnect the unit to power as soon as possible. Alert when battery drops below 20% Alert when battery drops below 10% - Ignore instructions to replace AAA batteries.
CounterTop Version In the CounterTop version, there is only one battery in the Palm PDA which automatically charges when the scanner is connected to the AC wall adapter. However, since this version requires external power, this battery charge status only matters if the unit has not been powered for several weeks.
