Charging the Battery
Before its first use, the Phaser battery must be charged.
Using the Cradle
1. Connect the power supply to the power input jack on the cradle.
2. Connect the power supply to a receptacle supplying AC power of the proper voltage
level.
3. Insert the scanner into the cradle, so that the nose of the scanner and tip of the handle
seat into the receptacles.

4. Check the charge status indicator light. See
Table 4-1 on page 4-3
.
5. The battery fully charges in up to 4 hours.
The cradle recharges batteries in the scanner only when the scanner is in the cradle. A scanner
with a dead battery starts charging immediately upon insertion into the cradle, whereas a
scanner with a partially charged battery begins charging after approximately 15 minutes. The
status of the scanner battery module determines the charge rate. Note that the scanner can be
removed from the cradle at any time.
