Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and
recommended type.
• Always remove old or weak batteries. Batteries
can leak chemicals that destroy electronic
circuits.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types
of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable),
or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
5. Replace the cover.
6. When flashes and the scanner beeps
every 15 seconds, replace both batteries.

Using Rechargeable Batteries

You can also use two rechargeable batteries to
power your scanner. Before you use Ni-MH or Ni-Cd
batteries, you must charge them.
The scanner has a built-in circuit that lets you
recharge Ni-MH or Ni-Cd batteries while they are in
the scanner. To charge the batteries, set
REG. ALK. BATT./NI-MH BATT. inside the battery
compartment to NI-MH BATT., install the batteries in
the scanner, and connect an external AC adapter to
the scanner's DC 6V jack (see "Using AC Power" on
Page 23).
