Charging Rechargeable Batteries; Using Ac Power - GRE PSR-100 Owner's Manual

CHARGING RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES

Your scanner has a built-in charging circuit that lets you charge nickel-metal
hydride (Ni-MH) or nickel cadmium (Ni-CD) rechargeable batteries (not sup-
plied) while they are in the scanner. To charge rechargeable batteries, you need
to use a supplied AC adaptor. To charge batteries with a DC adaptor from a DC
power source, you must use a 9VDC at least 400mA adaptor with 4.75mm
outer/1.7mm inner plug.
It takes about 16 hours to recharge fully discharged 1600mAh Ni-MH recharge-
able batteries. You can operate the scanner while recharging the rechargeable
batteries, but charging takes longer.
Notes:
• The scanner can also charge Ni-Cd batteries. 600mAh batteries require 6
hours and 850mAh batteries require 8 hours to charge.
• When you charge Ni-Cd batteries, do not over charge them. Overcharging
shortens battery life.
• Rechargeable batteries last longer and deliver more power if you let them
fully discharge once a month. To do this, use the scanner until B appears.
Then fully charge the rechargeable batteries.

USING AC POWER

You can power the scanner using a supplied AC adaptor.
Cautions:
! You must use a supplied AC adaptor.
• Always connect the AC adaptor to the scanner before you connect it to AC
power. When you finish, disconnect the adaptor from AC power before you
disconnect it from the scanner.
• The correct orientation for the enclosed power adaptor is in a vertical or
floor-mount position.
To power the scanner using an AC adaptor, connect the plug into the scanner's
PWR DC 9V jack. Then connect the AC adaptor to a standard AC outlet.
WARNING: To prevent electric shock, do not use the AC adaptor's polar-
ized plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless you can
fully insert the blades to prevent blade exposure.
