Setting Up Your Scanner
If an AC adapter is connected to the scanner, the
scanner checks the condition of the installed batteries.
If the scanner is turned off and the batteries require a
full charge,
Pre-Charging
appears on the display.
Then,
Normal Charging
appears as the batteries
are recharged. When the batteries are fully charged,
Charge Complete
appears.
If no batteries are installed in the scanner,
No Battery
appears. If there is a problem with the installed batteries,
Battery Error
appears. If the installed batteries are
Ni-MH batteries but ALKALINE/Ni-MH is set to
ALKALINE ,
Charge Off
appears and the scanner
does not charge the batteries.
Removing the Display Sticker
Before you use the scanner, remove the protective
plastic sticker over the display.
Using AC Power
You can power the scanner using the supplied 6V,
800 mA AC adapter.
To use the scanner on
AC power, plug the
adapter into
6V 800 mA
on the right side of the
scanner, then plug the
AC adapter into a
standard AC outlet.
If rechargeable batteries are installed and ALKALINE/
Ni-MH is set to NI-MH , the adapter powers the scanner
and recharges the installed batteries at the same time.
WARNING!
To prevent damage to Ni-MH batteries, never charge
them in an area where the temperature is above
113°F (45°C) or below 32°F (0°C).
