Figure 6. Charging the Battery
Rapid flashing indicates that charging is taking place. Rapid charging
occurs when the battery temperature is between 10°C (50°F) and 46°C
(115°F), and/or voltage of the battery is between 2.0 and 3.2V. Charge
time is less than 4.2 hours. Rapid charge ends with the battery at
approximately 90 to 95% capacity. The CHARGE LED remains on
steady when trickle charging or after the charge cycle is complete.
A scanner may be charged simultaneously while
other scanners are in use with the Base Station.
