You can use either the black non-

nickel-cadmium or nickel-metal
hydride batteries (not supplied).

the holder. Or, if you are using
rechargeable batteries, place

Ô NOTES Ô
• Dispose of old
batteries promptly
and properly.
• Do not burn or bury
batteries.
• Use only fresh
batteries of the
required size and
recommended
type.
• Do not mix old and
new batteries,
different types of
batteries (standard,
alkaline, or

rechargeable
batteries of
different capacities.
• If you do not plan
to use the scanner
for a month or
more, remove the

can leak chemicals
that can destroy
electronic parts.
