Preparation
• If you install the rechargeable battery holder, you
can operate the scanner and recharge the
rechargeable batteries at the same time. See “Using
Batteries” below and “Charging Rechargeable Bat-
teries” on Page 12.
• If the scanner stops working properly after connect-
ing it to power, try resetting it. See “Resetting/Initial-
izing the Scanner” on Page 67.
Using Batteries
You can power the scanner with six AA batteries. For the
longest operation and best performance, we recommend
alkaline batteries, available at your local RadioShack
store.
You can use either the supplied non-rechargeable black
battery holder, or the supplied rechargeable yellow bat-
tery holder. If you use the rechargeable battery holder,
we recommend RadioShack nickel-cadmium or nickel-
metal hydride batteries.
Warning:
Never install non-rechargeable batteries in the
rechargeable yellow battery holder. Non-rechargeable
batteries can get hot or explode if you try to recharge
them.
Note:
You must charge rechargeable batteries before
you use them the first time. See “Charging Recharge-
able Batteries” on Page 12.
Follow these steps to install the batteries.
1. Press down on the battery compartment cover on
the bottom of the scanner and slide the cover in the
direction of the arrow to remove it.
2. Pull out and slide the battery holder out of the bat-
tery compartment.
