When the charge pack needs recharging, the yellow LED on top of the scanner
pulses in short, continuous blinks when the trigger is pulled. If the LED stops
flashing when the temperature lowers or you do not use the charge pack for
some time, you still need to charge the charge pack.
Conditioning the Charge Pack
• Charge packs are shipped uncharged and need to be conditioned for full
capacity and longer life.
• Charge the charge pack for 12 hours for the first two times to fully
condition the pack. (Fully discharge in between each initial charge.)
• Fully discharge the charge pack on a periodic basis by leaving the charge
pack attached to the scanner until the scanner no longer operates, about
24 hours. (Make sure all idle modes are disabled for this procedure -- see
“Charge Pack Conservation Mode” on page 2-15).
Discharging the Charge Pack
A full discharge should take less than 10 hours. Full discharge is indicated when
the trigger is pulled and held for at least 10 seconds and the reader does not
illuminate the aiming line or the status LED. Circuitry in the reader prevents an
over-discharge.

The charge packs naturally discharge through normal use of the reader.
Alternately, they may be discharged without user interaction by following these
steps:
1. Disassociate the reader from the base unit by scanning the Remove Scan-
ner/Disassociate bar code (found below).
2. Scan the Battery Discharge Mode bar code (found below) to temporarily dis-
able the scanner’s power-saving features. The scanner does not operate
normally when in this mode. Do not scan a bar code or the scanner will exit
the Battery Discharge Mode.
3. To resume normal operation, detach and replace the charge pack, then
associate with the base unit by scanning the bar code affixed to the base.
