REPLACING THE BATTERY

 

NiCad batteries are designed to be recharged for a large number of cycles. 

At the end of its life, chemical changes within the cells reduce the 

capacity of the battery. 

 

If the capacity of the battery falls, the battery should first be fully 

discharged and recharged two or three times as described above, as the 

cause may be reversible. However, if full capacity is not restored, the 

battery must be changed. 

 

Replacement batteries can be obtained from Scan Optics. To replace the 

battery pack, unscrew the cap at the bottom of the Battery Handle. The 

new battery pack should be inserted by pushing firmly into the handle 

until an audible ‘click’ is heard.
