Warning: Set ALKALINE/RECHARGEABLE to
RECHARGEABLE for use only with nickel cadmium
(Ni-Cd) or nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH) rechargeable
batteries. Never attempt to recharge non-
rechargeable batteries. Non-rechargeable batteries
can get hot or explode if you try to recharge them.
Cautions:
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 (standard, alkaline, or
rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of
different capacities.
When flashes and the scanner beeps every
15 seconds, replace both batteries.
Warning: Always dispose of old batteries promptly
and properly. Do not bury or burn them.
Using Rechargeable Batteries
You can also use two rechargeable batteries to
power your scanner. Before you use Ni-Cd or Ni-MH
batteries, you must charge them.
