About the Battery

There is a danger of explosion if the batteries are incorrectly replaced. Replace the batteries with only the same or

!equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the recycle program for batteries as directed by the governing agency for the country where the batteries are to be discarded.

Power is supplied to the cordless scanner by a rechargeable battery that is integrated in the scanner handle. Batteries are shipped approximately 30% to 60% charged. The battery should be charged for a minimum of 4 hours before initial use to ensure optimal performance.

Charging Information

The battery is designed to charge while the scanner is positioned in the cordless base unit. Refer to Base/Access Point LED Sequences and Meaning, page 3-5,for an interpretation of the Charge Status indicators. Refer to Charge Only Mode (page 3-9)if you need to charge a scanner without linking it to the base.

Place the scanner in the base that is connected to an appropriate power supply. Use only a Listed Limited Power Source (LPS) or Class 2 type power supply with output rated 5 to 5.2Vdc, 1A.

Note: If you are powering the base through the interface cable (for example, a USB cable) and not using an external power supply plugged into the aux port, the current available for charging is reduced and charge times are increased.

Battery Recommendations

•The battery is a lithium ion cell and can be used without a full charge, and can also be charged without fully discharging, without impacting the battery life. There is no need to perform any charge/discharge conditioning on this type of battery.

•Keep the base connected to power when the host is not in use.

•Replace a defective battery immediately since it could damage the scanner.

•Although your battery can be recharged many times, it will eventually be depleted. Replace it after the battery is unable to hold an adequate charge.

•If you are not sure if the battery or charger is working properly, send it to Honeywell International Inc. or an authorized service center for inspection. Refer to Customer Support on page 13-1for additional information.

Caution:

! Use only Honeywell Li-ion battery packs, model number BAT-SCN01, rated 3.7 Vdc, 7.4Whr in this device. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may result in damage not covered by the warranty.

Safety Precautions for Lithium Batteries

•Do not place batteries in fire or heat the batteries.

•Do not store batteries near fire or other high temperature locations.

•Do not store or carry batteries together with metal objects.

•Do not expose batteries to water or allow the batteries to get wet.

•Do not connect (short) the positive and negative terminals, of the batteries, to each other with any metal object.

•Do not pierce, strike or step on batteries or subject batteries to strong impacts or shocks.

•Do not disassemble or modify batteries.

Caution:

! Danger of explosion if batteries are incorrectly replaced. Dispose of used batteries according to the recycle

program for batteries as directed by the governing agency for the country where the batteries are to be discarded.

Proper Disposal of the Battery

When the battery has reached the end of its useful life, the battery should be disposed of by a qualified recycler or hazardous materials handler. Do not incinerate the battery or dispose of the battery with general waste materials. You may send the scanner’s battery to us. (postage paid). The shipper is responsible for complying with all federal, state, and local laws and regulations related to the packing, labeling, manifesting, and shipping of spent batteries. Contact the Product Service Department (page 13-1) for recycling or disposal information. Since you may find that your cost of returning the batteries significant, it may be more cost effective to locate a local recycle/disposal company.
