Charging the DS3678 Battery
When using a new battery in the DS3678, the battery requires a charge to be enabled. Insert the battery (see
Inserting the DS3678 Battery on page 1-7) in the DS3678 and place the DS3678 in the STB/FLB3678 cradle (see
Inserting the DS3678 Scanner in the Cradle on page 1-9).
The battery begins charging when the cradle’s LED indicator starts blinking amber. The DS3678’s battery has
completed a charge when the cradle’s LED indicator is solid green. A complete charge of a fully discharged battery
can take up to three hours using external power and up to ten hours using USB power over the USB interface
cable.
