To prevent damage to Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries, never charge them in an area where the temperature is above 113°F (40°C) or below 40°F (4°C).

If you connect an external power source to the scanner with ALKALINE/RECHARGEABLE set to ALKALINE, CHArg appears but the scanner does NOT charge the batteries. This is because the scanner's microprocessor unit does not recognize the switch position when you incorrectly connect an external power source. Make sure that you use the correct batteries and set ALKALINE/RECHARGEABLE to the correct position when you connect an external power source.

If CHArg does not appear, the rechargeable batteries might be completely discharged. Connect the scanner to an AC or DC adapter and wait about 1 minute. Then, unplug the adapter from the scanner for a few seconds then plug it back in.
