2. | Push the stand tilt cup in |
| the extreme down position |
| to expose the hole for the |
| discharge cycle switch. |
3. | Use a pin to push the |

RECOMMENDED USE
To maintain charge capacity, the NiCd batteries must be discharged fully before charging. We call this process reconditioning.
Recondition if:
∙The batteries were not used within 20 days
∙The batteries were not discharged (approximately two hours of continuous operation) at least once a week
∙Low battery indicators:
∙Both LED’s on the scanner blink
∙The scanner quietly beeps twice while scanning
Recondition once a week if:
∙The batteries do not get discharged for more than 20% (approximately ½ hour) of their capacity before recharging.
Recondition once every two weeks if:
∙The batteries do not get discharged for more than 50% (approximately 1 hour) of their capacity before recharging.
Note: The day to day usage of the NiCd batteries will determine the frequency of the discharges (reconditioning).
