GETTING FAMILIARIZED WITH THE SCANNER AND THE CRADLE
INSTALLING THE BATTERY TO THE SCANNER
When you first receive the package, the rechargeable battery is stored separately from the
scanner. Insert the battery into the scanner first so that it can be charged when sitting in the
cradle.
Note: Any improper handling may reduce the battery life.
1) Hold the scanner still and insert the battery into the battery compartment at the bottom
of the scanner.
2) Slide the battery latch to lock the battery in the compartment.
3) Hold down the trigger about 2 seconds to turn on the scanner.
4) The scanner will respond with a long beep and its LED will come on-off shortly.
Note: (1) To turn off the scanner, remove the battery.
(2) For shipping and storage purposes, save the scanner and the battery separately.
This will keep the battery in good condition for future use. (3)
When the battery charge becomes low, you will find the scanner cannot emit scan
beam and its power-on beep sounds differently.

Introduction
The battery may not be charged to full for shipment. When you first receive the package,
you will need to charge the battery to full before using the scanner. When using the RS-232
cable, it takes approximately 5 hours to charge the battery to full (from the power adaptor).
Note: Battery charging stops when the temperature drops below 0°C or exceeds 40°C. It is
recommended to charge the battery at room temperature (18°C to 25°C) for optimal
performance.
1) Install the battery to the scanner.
2) Seat the scanner in the cradle.
3) Connect the cradle to your computer or notebook via the USB or RS-232 cable.
4) Connect the power supply cord from the cradle to a proper power outlet.
Warning: RS-232/USB interface both require connecting the power supply cord. When
the stand is solely on USB power, the current may be insufficient for it to
function normally. You must connect the power supply cord.
5) The LED for power indication on the cradle will become solid red.
6) The scanner LED will be flashing red during charging.
When the charging is done, the LED will turn off.
When charging error occurs, the LED will turn solid red.
