Charging the Batteries
The battery can be charged by connecting the reader directly to a host through the micro-USB
connector available in the bottom of the handle, as shown.
Alternatively, simply insert the QuickScan into the base. When the scanner is fully seated in the
cradle, it will sound a "chirp" to indicate that the cradle has detected the scanner connection.
The LEDs on the base will indicate the status of the battery.
Before using the Battery, read "Battery Safety" in the following section. Datalogic recommends
annual replacement of rechargeable battery packs to ensure maximum performance.
