Charge Batteries
For U.S. orders, Stencil Pro is shipped with two V-mount batteries. The batteries are
charged to approximately 30%. Begin by charging both batteries with the supplied battery
charger. If outside the U.S., procure compatible Li-Ion V-mount batteries typically used for
cameras and camcorders.
1.
The Stencil Pro UI provides a user-friendly scanning experience. Connect the provided iPad.
Connect the wireless keyboard/mouse using the Controller’s USB-A port. Scans can also be
started and stopped outside of the UI by pressing the Scanner or Controller’s Scan button
once. If hand-carrying Stencil Pro, place the Controller into the Control Pack Carrying Case.
Supply power to the Controller by connecting the AC adapter to the Controller’s Shore Power
Connector. Remove the batteries when using shore power, as the batteries will continue to
drain if they remain in the V-mounts. Use a compatible AC charger or power supply to
recharge batteries .
