tool, to force a Bluetooth disconnect, and for paging the scanner when it is activated. Refer to the HP
Wireless Barcode Scanner Programming Reference Guide
(PRG) for a more detailed explanation.

Charging the Batteries

NOTE:

Battery replacement should be done only by a trained technician.

To charge the battery, simply insert the scanner into the base. When the scanner is fully seated in the
cradle, it will sound a “chirp” to indicate that the cradle has detected the scanner connection.

The LEDs on the base (as shown in

Base LEDs on page 13

) will indicate the status of the battery.

NOTE:

Before using the Battery, read “Battery Safety” in the following section. HP recommends

annual replacement of rechargeable battery packs to ensure maximum performance.
