Battery Notes:

• Always dispose of old batteries promptly and

properly. Do not bury or burn them.

• Use only fresh batteries of the required size

and recommended type. Do not mix old and

new batteries, different types (alkaline or

rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of

different capacities. Doing so can damage

the batteries, causing chemical leaks, fire, or

explosions.

• Do not overcharge batteries. Overcharging

shortens battery life.

• When the internal battery charge circuit is active,

the battery icon briefly flashes approximately

once every second.

• The battery charge indicator does not provide

positive indication that the batteries are actually

being charged. Batteries will only charge in the

yellow battery holder.

• Rechargeable batteries last longer and deliver

more power if you let them fully discharge once

a month. To do this, use the scanner until the

battery icon flashes.

• The battery icon appears when battery power

is low. As a second warning, the battery icon

flashes and the scanner beeps every 30 seconds.

• Remove old or weak batteries. If you will not use

the scanner with batteries for a month, remove

the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that

destroy electronic circuits.
