Setting Up Your Scanner
2. Install 3 AA batteries,
matching the polarity
symbols (+ -).
WARNING!
Set
ALKALINE/Ni-MH
to
Ni-MH
for use only with
rechargeable batteries. Never attempt to recharge
non-rechargeable batteries. Non-rechargeable
batteries can get hot and can even burst if you try to
recharge them.
3. Replace the cover.
When
flashes and the scanner beeps every 15
seconds, replace the batteries.
Using Rechargeable Batteries
You can also use three rechargeable batteries to power
your scanner. Before you use rechargeable batteries,
you must charge them. The scanner has a built-in
circuit that lets you recharge batteries while they are in
the scanner. To charge the batteries, set
ALKALINE/
Ni-MH
inside the battery compartment to
NI-MH
,
install the batteries in the scanner, and connect the
supplied AC adapter to the scanner's DC 6V jack (see
“Using AC Power” on Page 34).
WARNING!
Do not connect the AC adapter to the scanner if
non-rechargeable batteries (such as alkaline
batteries) are installed in the scanner and
ALKALINE/Ni-MH
is set to
NI-MH
, or if you are
unsure of the switch's position. Non-rechargeable
batteries can get hot and can even burst if you try
to recharge them. Before you use rechargeable
batteries for the first time, charge them for 14
hours to bring them to a full charge. Discharged
batteries take about 14 hours to fully recharge.
