AA batteries or other non rechargeable batteries of AA size,
which are everywhere available.
Using Rechargeable Batteries
Before you use Ni-MH (or the older Ni-Cd battery types, you
must charge them.

Ni-MH or Ni-Cd batteries while they are in the scanner. To
charge the batteries:
•
Make sure the power is turned off.
•
Slide the battery compartment cover.
•
Install two batteries in the compartment as
indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked
inside.
•
Replace the cover.
•
Connect the supplied AC adapter to the scanner's
DC 6V to charge the batteries. (See “Using AC
Power” on the over next page.)
