Charging a Rechargeable Battery Pack
Your scanner has a built-in charging circuit that lets you
charge a rechargeable scanner battery pack (Cat. No. 23-
288, not supplied) while it is in the scanner. To charge a
battery pack, simply connect an appropriate AC or DC
adapter to the
PWR/DC 9V
jack.
Note:
If you want to take the battery pack out of the scan-
ner to charge it, follow the instructions provided with the
battery pack.
It takes about 14-16 hours to recharge a battery pack that
is fully discharged. You can operate the scanner while re-
charging the battery pack, but the charging time is length-
ened.
