Charge batteries in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). The device or cradle always performs battery charging in a safe and intelligent manner. At higher temperatures (e.g. approximately +37°C (+98°F)) the device or cradle may for small periods of time alternately enable and disable battery charging to keep the battery at acceptable temperatures. The device and cradle indicates when charging is disabled due to abnormal temperatures via its LED.

Imager Scanning

To read a bar code, a scan-enabled application is required. The device contains the DataWedge application that allows the user to enable the imager, decode the bar code data and display the bar code content.

1. Ensure that an application is open on the device and a text field is in focus (text cursor in text field).

2. Point the exit window on the top of the device at a bar code.

3. Press and hold the scan button.
   The red laser aiming pattern turns on to assist in aiming.
   NOTE: When the device is in Picklist mode, the imager does not decode the bar code until the crosshair or aiming dot touch-es the bar code.

4. Ensure the bar code is within the area formed by the crosshairs in the aiming pattern. The aiming dot is used for increased visibility in bright lighting conditions.

5. The Data Capture LED lights green and a beep sounds, by default, to indicate the bar code was decoded successfully.

6. Release the scan button.
   The bar code content data displays in the text field.
   NOTE: Imager decoding usually occurs instantaneously. The device repeats the steps required to take a digital picture (im-age) of a poor or difficult bar code as long as the scan button remains pressed.
