Charging the ba eries
Use the supplied ba ery charger to recharge the ba eries. The mains and car adapter for charging the
s ck reader ba eries are labelled “Ba ery Charger”. Place the ba eries in the charger, ensuring that the
posi ve and nega ve markings (+ / -) on the ba eries match up with the (+ / -) on the charger. Charging the
supplied ba eries from fl at to full should take about four hours.

To check the level of the ba eries when the s ck reader is turned on, fi rst turn it off , then turn it back
on to see the start-up screen.
The s ck reader should operate for at least eight hours on a fully charged set of ba eries. For the fi rst
several hours the ba ery indicator will show
Good
. When the ba ery indicator fi rst shows
Low
you should
s ll have one or two hours of use le , but should plan to recharge or replace the ba eries soon. A sign the
ba eries are ge ng low is the s ck reader is unable to maintain a Bluetooth link to a printer or weigher.
When the indicator shows
Empty
the ba eries should be recharged or replaced immediately.
