Note: To prevent damage to Ni-MH batteries, never charge them in an

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.
CAUTION: Never attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries or
install non-rechargeable batteries when the battery selection switch
is set to Ni-MH. The USB cable will only charge the batteries if the
scanner is turned off.
1. Be sure the scanner is turned off. It will recharge only if it is
turned off, even with the USB cable connecting it to a
computer.
2. Connect the included USB cable to the scanner’s USB port.
3. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the computer's
USB port or to an AC or DC adapter that provides USB
charging power.
NOTE: If you connect to a computer's USB port, the PC will prompt you
for the drivers for your scanner. USB drivers and optional programming
software are available for download from http://www.service.alan-
electronics.de.
The scanner displays Charging while it charges the batteries and Charge
