Powering Your Scanner
Using Batteries
Your scanner has a built-in charging circuit to maintain
peak performance of your Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH)
or Nickel Cadmium (Ni-CD) rechargeable batteries (not
supplied) while they are in the scanner.
For the best performance, use alkaline batteries. For
rechargeable battery holder, we recommend nickel-metal
hydride (Ni-MH) batteries. You must charge rechargeable
batteries before you use them the rst time.
When battery power is low
B

2. Place four AA batteries (not supplied) into one of the
battery holders as indicated by the polarity symbols

yellow holder.

compartment and replace the cover.
Warning: Never install non-rechargeable batteries in the
rechargeable yellow battery holder. Non-rechargeable
batteries can get hot or explode if you try to recharge them.
