Charging The Batteries - Datalogic PowerScan Area Imager Quick Reference Manual

Charging the Batteries

NOTE: According to recent modification of Regula-
tion for shipping Li-Ion based battery packs, the
products and their spare battery packs parts are
shipped with a very low residual charge (low state
of charge).
Hence the needs:
• that a new product must be fully recharged
before starting to use it.
and
• that battery packs of the stocked products
PM96xx and spare battery pack parts must be
periodically recharged. For instance, by using a
BC96xx base station powered up with a 12V Data-
logic AC/DC adapter (cod.8-0935) for at least 30
minutes each 3 months.
CHARGING THE BATTERIES
Once the BC96XX is powered, you can charge the reader's
batteries. Place the PowerScan™ PM96XX into the BC96XX
base station. The LEDs on the base station / battery char-
ger turn green and flash orange / green when recharging
begins.
The battery is completely charged when the reader LED on
the base station / battery charger turns green.
The battery can also be charged using the Multi Battery
Charger accessory.
NOTE: The PowerScan PM96XX may get warm
during charging: this is normal and does not mean
a malfunction.
NOTE: Before using the battery, read "Battery
Safety" on page 29. Datalogic recommends annual
replacement of rechargeable battery packs to
ensure maximum performance.
