Charging the Battery
For best performance, fully charge the digital scanner battery before using the digital scanner for the first time. To
charge the battery, place the digital scanner in the cradle, ensuring that the metal contacts on the bottom of the
digital 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.

fast mode (external power supply is present), the green LED blinks quickly (on for 0.25 seconds, off for 0.75
seconds). If the digital scanner is charging in slow mode (host-powered mode), the LED blinks slowly (on for 0.5
seconds, off for 1.5 seconds).
Charging Problem LED
A solid or flashing red LED during charging indicates a charging problem. See Table 2-2 on page 2-5 for definitions
