Battery Notes
:
• You can use scanner while charging batteries, but it is not
recommended. The charging current decreases and charging
takes longer.
• Do not over-charge rechargeable batteries. Overcharging
shortens battery life.
• A low battery warning sounds every 30 seconds when the
batteries are nearly depleted.
• Dispose of batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury
them.
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries
(standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of
different capacities.
• Discontinue use of any battery that exhibits leakage, swelling, or
abnormal generation of heat.
• If you do not plan to use the scanner for a month or longer,
remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can
damage electronic parts.

To power the scanner from AC or DC (powered by car adapter)
power, you need an optional AC or DC adapter (not supplied).
