GRYPHON™

 

2.6.2Battery Charging

Once the system is connected and powered, you can place the GRYPHON™ M into the cradle to charge the battery.

When the scanner is correctly inserted in the cradle, the red LED on the cradle goes on to indicate that the battery is charging. The green LED on the cradle goes on when the battery is completely charged.

When using NiCd or NiMh batteries, frequent recharging before fully discharging can cause a “memory effect” in which the batteries assume a reduced capacity.

Since it is not practical to wait for the reader to be fully discharged before recharging it, the OM-GRYPHON™ and the C-GRYPHON™ are provided with a battery- reconditioning feature which overcomes the “memory effect” problem.

To perform battery reconditioning, simply press the battery-reconditioning key on the cradle control panel: the battery will be fully discharged in a short period of time (red LED flashing), then automatically recharged.

We recommend performing the battery reconditioning once every few months or whenever you feel the battery capacity has decreased.
