4 Cordless Scanning System Quick Start
Conditioning the Charge Pack
Charge packs are shipped uncharged and need to be conditioned for full
capacity and longer life.
Charge the charge pack for 12 hours for the first two times to fully condition
the pack. (Fully discharge in between each initial charge.)
Fully discharge the charge pack on a periodic basis by leaving the charge
pack attached to the scanner until the scanner no longer operates, about 24
hours. (Make sure all idle modes are disabled for this procedure -- see
Charge Pack Conservation Mode description in the System Manual.)
Discharging the Charge Pack
A full discharge should take less than 10 hours. Full discharge is indicated when
the trigger is pulled and held for at least 10 seconds and the reader does not
illuminate the aiming line or the status LED. Circuitry in the reader prevents an
over-discharge.

The charge packs naturally discharge through normal use of the reader.
Alternately, they may be discharged without user interaction by following these
steps:
1. Disassociate the reader from the base unit by scanning the Remove Scan-
ner/Disassociate bar code (found below).
2. Scan the Battery Discharge Mode bar code (found below) to temporarily
disable the scanner’s power-saving features. The scanner does not
operate normally when in this mode. Do not scan a bar code or the
scanner will exit the Battery Discharge Mode.
3. To resume normal operation, detach and replace the charge pack, then
associate with the base unit by scanning the bar code affixed to the base.
