Battery Charging
Once the system is connected and powered, you can place the PowerScan™ M8500 into
the cradle to charge the battery.
When the reader is correctly inserted in the cradle, the "Reader" red LED on the cradle goes
on
to indicate that the battery is charging. The "Reader" green LED on the cradle goes on
when the battery is completely charged.
Replacing PowerScan™ M8500 Batteries
1. To change the battery pack in your PowerScan™ M8500 scanner, push the Release
Button as indicated by Arrow 1 and extract the battery pack from the reader handle.
2. Then, insert the new battery pack into the reader handle until a ‘click’ is heard and the
Release Button moves back to its neutral position.
When the batteries are extracted from the scanner, the timer maintains
the current hour and date for about 1 minute.
