Charging the Battery
For best performance, fully charge the scanner battery before using the scanner for the first time. To charge the battery, place the
scanner in the cradle, ensuring that the metal contacts on the bottom of the scanner touch the contacts on the cradle. The battery
begins charging. A complete charge can take up to four hours, depending on the remaining charge in the battery.
Charge within the recommended temperature of 32° to 104° F (0° to 40° C) nominal, 41° to 95° F (5° to 35° C) ideal.
Charging LED
The flashing green LED indicates charging activity. See Table 2-2 on page 2-5 . If the scanner is charging in fast mode (external power
supply is present), the green LED blinks quickly (on for 0.25 seconds, off for 0.75 seconds). If the scanner is charging in slow mode
(host-powered mode), the LED blinks slowly (on for 0.5 seconds, off for 1.5 seconds).
Charging Problem LED
A solid or flashing red LED during charging indicates a charging problem. See Table 2-2 on page 2-5 for definitions of error conditions
and the appropriate action to take.
Inserting the Scanner in the Cradle
Insert the scanner in the cradle so that the metal contacts on the bottom of the scanner handle touch the contacts on the cradle:
1. With a slightly rotated motion, insert the scanner into the cradle top first.
2. Push the handle until it clicks into place, engaging the contacts in the cradle and scanner.
