Chapter 11 Charging and Replacing the Battery Cartridge
11.1 Charging and Discharging the Battery Cartridge
When the battery cartridge charge drops to a level requiring recharging, a warning sounds and the indicator LED starts
flashing orange once every five seconds. This flashing continues until the scanner is recharged. Recharge the scanner
as promptly as possible.
Continued use without charging sounds another warning and the scanner turns itself off. Recharge the scanner
immediately.
Some heat generation in the scanner or charger during charging is perfectly normal.
Note: Some scanner firmware has a different response pattern, intermittently sounding a warning at one-second
intervals for 20 seconds and then cutting the power to the scanner. In that case, recharge the scanner immediately.

Important notes on care and handling
• Use the charger only in locations satisfying the following conditions.
- Ambient temperature of 0 to 40°C (Ambient temperature of 10 to 30°C recommended.)
- Humidity of 20% to 80%
- No dust or excessive vibration
- No splashing of water or other liquids
• Do not leave the charger in direct sunlight, in an automobile, or other location exposed to high temperatures.
• Keep the charger away from telephones, television sets, radios, and other equipment sensitive to electromagnetic
noise.
• Disconnect the charger from the electrical outlet when not in use.
• Occasionally clean the charging pins with a dry cotton swab or similar material. Allowing foreign matter to
accumulate can interfere with proper charging.
• Sudden temperature fluctuations sometimes interfere with proper charging.
• There may be times when the charger charge LED (orange) turns OFF and the scanner indicator LED flashes red
after charging is commenced. This indicates that the rechargeable battery protection function has been activated and
charging can no longer be continued due to such reasons as sudden temperature fluctuations. Either change the
location or try again once the temperature has stabilized.
