R ECOMMENDED U SE
To maintain charge capacity, the NiCd batteries must be discharged fully
before charging. We call this process reconditioning.
Recondition if:
• The batteries were not used within 20 days
• The batteries were not discharged (approximately two hours of
continuous operation) at least once a week
• Low battery indicators:
• Both LED’s on the scanner blink
• The scanner quietly beeps twice while scanning
Recondition once a week if:
• The batteries do not get discharged for more than 20%
(approximately ½ hour) of their capacity before recharging.
Recondition once every two weeks if:
• The batteries do not get discharged for more than 50%
(approximately 1 hour) of their capacity before recharging.
Note: The day to day usage of the NiCd batteries will determine the
frequency of the discharges (reconditioning).
