•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.
