When installing the battery eliminator, insert the battery eliminator with
the label side out.
The battery eliminator is charged by plugging in the external power supply
while the SCAN-LAN VI is OFF. To charge the batteries, turn the SCAN-
LAN VI OFF and connect the external power supply. The display will show
“SCAN-LAN VI,” the serial number of the unit, the date, the time, and the
message “RECHARGING.” When the battery is fully charged (up to 14
hours), the “RECHARGING” indication will go away. Note that the SCAN-
LAN VI will not charge the batteries when it is ON.
One of the advantages of a NiMH battery is that
it does not have the “memory”
characteristics of a NiCd battery
. You do
not
need to completely discharge or
cycle the battery to maintain full capacity.
