Performing a Hardware Default and Manual Battery Recharge
Performing a Manual Battery Recharge
If the MS-Q's lithium ion battery is allowed to lose 100% of its charge, the imager will
become locked in a continuous vibration cycle. The mechanism of vibration is the same as
the "successful decode" indicator, which can be switched between beep and vibrate.
However, when the imager vibrates to indicate total loss of battery charge, it is unable to
decode symbol data and it cannot be defaulted.
The following procedure provides enough charge to "jump-start" the imager and perform a
hardware default.
1. Remove the battery.
2. Align the battery with its housing on the side opposite the sliding latch mechanism.
3. Starting from the angled position described in step 2, lower the battery completely into
its housing three times, but do not engage the sliding latch mechanism until the third
time the battery is inserted.
4. The third and final time the battery is lowered and inserted, leave it in its housing and
move the sliding latch mechanism into its locked position.
5. Default the imager. (See
Recharge on page A-58.)
Note: For best results, charge the battery fully before you next use the imager.

Hold the battery at an angle from its
housing, balanced where the battery's
tab is aligned with the housing's slot.
The battery should be inserted for
slightly less than one second each time
it is lowered. Maintain a steady rhythm
while performing this sequence.
