3. If you are using non-rechargeable batteries, place them
into the black holder, as indicated by the polarity sym-
bols (+ and –) marked on the holder. Or, if you are
using rechargeable batteries, place them into the yel-
low holder, as indicated by the polarity symbols (+
and –) marked on the holder.
4. Place the battery holder into the battery compartment.
5. Replace the cover.
When B appears and the scanner beeps or the scanner
stops operating properly, replace or recharge the batter-
ies.
Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and prop-
erly. Do not burn or bury them.
Caution: If you do not plan to use the scanner with bat-
teries for a month or more, remove the batteries. Batter-
ies can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
If the scanner stops working properly after connecting it
to power, try resetting it. See "Resetting the Scanner" on
Page 23.
Note: You must charge rechargeable batteries before you
use them the first time. See "Charging Rechargeable
Batteries."
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 supplied) while they
are in the scanner. To charge rechargeable batteries, you
need to use a 9V AC adapter or 10V DC adapter with
4.7mm outer/1.7mm inner plug.
Cautions:
• You must use an adapter that supplies 9V DC and de-
livers at least 300mA. Its center tip must be set to posi-
tive and its plug must fit the scanner's PWR DC 9V
jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these speci-
fications could damage the scanner or the adapter.
• Always connect the AC adapter to the scanner before
you connect it to AC power. When you finish, discon-
nect the adapter from AC power before you discon-
nect it from the scanner.
Note: It takes about 15 hours to recharge fully discharged
1500mAh Ni-MH rechargeable batteries. You can oper-
ate the scanner while recharging the rechargeable bat-
teries, but charging takes longer.
