Setting Up Your Scanner
Cautions:
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and 
recommended type.
Always remove old or weak batteries. Batteries 
can leak chemicals that destroy electronic 
circuits.
Do not mix old and new batteries, different types 
of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), 
or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
5. Replace the cover. 
6. When 
 flashes and the scanner beeps 
every 15 seconds, replace both batteries.
Using Rechargeable Batteries
You can also use two rechargeable batteries to 
power your scanner. Before you use Ni-MH or Ni-Cd 
batteries, you must charge them.
The scanner has a built-in circuit that lets you 
recharge Ni-MH or Ni-Cd batteries while they are in 
the scanner. To charge the batteries, set 
REG. ALK. BATT./NI-MH BATT. inside the battery 
compartment to NI-MH BATT., install the batteries in 
the scanner, and connect an external AC adapter to 
the scanner's DC 6V jack (see “Using AC Power” on 
Page 23).
