11 Preparation
er, we recommend RadioShack nickel-metal hydride
(Ni–MH) batteries.
Warning: Never install non-rechargeable batteries in the
rechargeable yellow battery holder. Non-rechargeable
batteries can get hot or explode if you try to recharge
them.
Note: You must charge rechargeable batteries before
you use them the first time. See “Charging Recharge-
able Batteries” on Page 12.
Cautions:
• The battery holder fits only one way. Do not force it.
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and
recommended type.
• Always remove old or weak batteries. Batteries can
leak chemicals that destroy electronic circuits.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of
batteries (alkaline or rechargeable), or rechargeable
batteries of different capacities.
Follow these steps to install the batteries:
1. Press in on the battery compartment cover on the
back of the scanner and slide the cover down to
remove it.
2. Pull the battery holder out of the battery compart-
ment.
3. If you are using non-rechargeable batteries, place
them into the black holder, as indicated by the polar-
ity symbols (
+ and – ) marked on the holder.
If you are using rechargeable batteries, place them
into the yellow holder as indicated by the polarity
symbols (
+ and – ) marked on the holder.
4. Place the battery holder into the battery compart-
ment.
5. Replace the cover.
