If an AC adapter is connected to the scanner, the scanner checks the condition of the installed batteries. If the scanner is turned off and the batteries require a full charge, Pre-Chargingappears on the display. Then, Normal Charging appears as the batteries are recharged. When the batteries are fully charged, Charge Complete appears.

If no batteries are installed in the scanner, No Battery appears. If there is a problem with the installed batteries, Battery Error appears. If the installed batteries are Ni-MH batteries but ALKALINE/Ni-MHis set to ALKALINE, Charge Off appears and the scanner does not charge the batteries.

Removing the Display Sticker

Before you use the scanner, remove the protective plastic sticker over the display.

Using AC Power

You can power the scanner using the supplied 6V, 800 mA AC adapter.

To use the scanner on AC power, plug the adapter into 6V 800 mA on the right side of the scanner, then plug the AC adapter into a standard AC outlet.

If rechargeable batteries are installed and ALKALINE/ Ni-MHis set to NI-MH, the adapter powers the scanner and recharges the installed batteries at the same time.

WARNING!

To prevent damage to Ni-MH batteries, never charge them in an area where the temperature is above 113°F (45°C) or below 32°F (0°C).
