Use the rechargeable battery provided by FARO to 

power the FARO Laser Scanner.

Open the laser scanner’s battery compartment.  

With its type label directed upwards, point the 

battery contacts to the scanner, push the battery 

straight in, and slide it into the compartment until the 

fastener clicks into position. 
Close the battery cover.

Adhere  to  the  battery  safety  measures 

described  in  the  laser  scanner  manual. 

Insert  or  remove  batteries  from  the  laser 

scanner  in  dry  and  dust-free  environments 

only. 

!

Open the SD Card slot cover on the battery side. 

Insert the SD card with the notched edge in the 

direction as illustrated until it clicks. The SD card 

might have a protective lock-switch at the top left. 

Make sure that this lock-switch is in the open position.

3. Insert the SD Memory Card

Do not remove the SD card from the scanner 

while it is busy, otherwise you risk 

corrupting data. A busy SD card 

is indicated by this icon blinking in 

the status bar on the display.

!

Carefully mount the scanner with the upper part of the 

Quick Release onto the counter part. Make sure that the 

marks on both parts of the Quick Release are aligned. 

Lock it by rotating the nut at the upper part of the Quick 

Release in a clock-wise direction.
