The button (3) can be used to force device connection via the HP Scanner Configuration Software
tool, to force a Bluetooth disconnect, and for paging the scanner when it is activated. Refer to the
HP
Wireless Barcode Scanner Programming Reference Guide
(PRG) for a more detailed explanation.
Charging the Batteries
NOTE:
Battery replacement should be done only by a trained technician.
To charge the battery, simply insert the scanner into the base. When the scanner is fully seated in the
cradle, it will sound a “chirp” to indicate that the cradle has detected the scanner connection.
The LEDs on the base (as shown in
Base LEDs on page 13
) will indicate the status of the battery.
NOTE:
Before using the Battery, read “Battery Safety” in the following section. HP recommends
annual replacement of rechargeable battery packs to ensure maximum performance.
