Charging the Battery
For best performance, fully charge the scanner battery before using the scanner for the first time. To charge the
battery, place the scanner in the cradle, ensuring that the metal contacts on the bottom of the scanner touch the
contacts on the cradle. The battery begins charging. A complete charge can take up to four hours, depending on
the remaining charge in the battery.
Charge within the recommended temperature of 32° to 104° F (0° to 40° C) nominal, 41° to 95° F (5° to 35° C)
ideal.
For information on maximizing battery life, see Battery Maintenance on page 3-1 .
