Rapid flashing indicates that charging is taking place. Rapid charging 
occurs when the battery temperature is between 10°C (50°F) and 46°C 
(115°F), and/or voltage of the battery is between 2.0 and 3.2V. Charge 
time is less than 4.2 hours. Rapid charge ends with the battery at 
approximately 90 to 95% capacity. The CHARGE LED remains on 
steady when trickle charging or after the charge cycle is complete.
 
Tips for
Extending
Battery Life
Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries  will better hold a charge if 
allowed to discharge at least once a week. The chemical reactions that 
correspond to charge and discharge in a rechargeable battery should 
occur to obtain the maximum number of charge/discharge cycles in 
the battery. If a battery is removed from the scanner and stored, it 
should be fully charged when stored. Batteries will lose the ability to 
hold a charge when stored for long periods of time (weeks, months, or 
longer).
Batteries will typically have about 30% charge capacity when shipped. 
To assure maximum usage, the battery should be fully charged before 
use.
Store your battery in a cool dry place. Do not leave your battery 
exposed to direct sunlight or temperatures below 0°C (30°F) and above 
38°C (100°F).
NOTE
A scanner may be charged simultaneously while
other scanners are in use with the Base Station.
NOTE
Batteries will not charge if their temperature is
below 0°C (30°F). If a battery that is too cold is
inserted into the Base Station, the Charge LED will
not illuminate.
NOTE
Annual replacement of rechargeable battery packs
is recommended, to ensure maximum performance.
