When flashes and the scanner beeps every 15

Using Rechargeable Batteries

You can also use two rechargeable batteries to power
your scanner. Before you use rechargeable batteries, you
must charge them.
The scanner has a built-in circuit that lets you recharge
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 the supplied
AC adapter to the scanner's DC 6V jack (see "Using AC
Power" on Page 26).
WARNING!
Do not connect the AC adapter to the scanner if non-
rechargeable batteries (such as alkaline batteries) are
installed in the scanner and
REG. ALK. BATT./NI-MH. BATT. is set to
NI-MH. BATT. , or if you are unsure of the switch's
position. Non-rechargeable batteries can get hot and
can even burst if you try to recharge them.
