Installing Rechargeable Ni-MH Batteries

You can also use two Ni-MH rechargeable batteries to power
your scanner. The Ni-MH batteries included with your unit are
not fully charged; you must charge them completely after you
install them into your scanner. See Charging the NiMH Batteries,
page 25, for details.
1. Make sure the power is turned off.
2. Slide the battery compartment cover off.
3. Use a pointed object such as a ballpoint pen to set the
battery selection switch inside the compartment to Ni-MH
for Nickel Metal-Hydride batteries.
4. Install two batteries in the compartment as indicated by
the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked inside and replace
the cover.
Notes:
• To prevent damage to Ni-MH batteries, never charge them
in an area where the temperature is above 113°F (45°C) or
below 40°F (4°C).
• For longer operation, you can get higher capacity Ni-MH
batteries at your local electronics store. This type of battery
takes longer to recharge.
