Installation Guide
Scanner Setup
Step 1. Charge the Scanner
Make sure your scanner is fully charged before using it for regular activities. Plug the USB charging
cable into the scanner and plug the cable into your computer’s USB port or another source. When the
scanner is fully charged, the green LED will turn off. A full recharge from a completely drained battery
takes approximately four hours.
Step 2. Connect the Scanner to Your Computer
Plug the USB receiver into one of your computer’s USB ports. Alternatively, you can plug the receiver
into the USB docking station, which can then be plugged into your computer. This may provide easier
access to the receiver. If a request to configure the keyboard pops up on your computer, simply exit
out of the request.
