Charging the Ni-MH Batteries
The scanner has a built-in circuit that charges the included
Ni-MH batteries when a USB cable connects it to a computer
(NOT to a USB hub) or to an AC or DC adapter that provides USB
charging power. Verify that the battery selection switch is set to
Ni-MH and that only Ni-MH rechargeable batteries are inserted
in the scanner before connecting it to your computer.
