Setting Up Your Scanner
3. Replace the cover.
When flashes and the scanner beeps every 15
seconds, replace both batteries.
Using Rechargeable Batteries
You can also use two rechargeable batteries to power
your scanner. Before you use rechargeable batteries, you
must charge them.
The scanner has a built-in circuit that lets you recharge
batteries while they are in the scanner. To charge the bat-
teries, set ALKALINE/RECHARGEABLE inside the bat-
tery compartment to RECHARGEABLE, install the
batteries in the scanner, and connect the supplied AC
adapter to the scanner's DC 6V jack (see “Using AC
Power” on Page 32).
WARNING!
Do not connect the AC adapter to the scanner if non-
rechargeable batteries (such as alkaline batteries) are
installed in the scanner and ALKALINE/RECHARGE-
ABLE is set to RECHARGEABLE, or if you are
unsure of the switch's position. Non-rechargeable bat-
teries will get hot and can even burst if you try to
recharge them.
