MICRO USB HID CONVERSION

When charging the scanner with a Micro USB cable instead of the presentation cradle, the scanner enumerates over USB as a CDC device. If your host does not have a CDC driver, a delay occurs between connecting the scanner to the host and the start of charging. To eliminate the delay scan HID Device Conversion below to enumerate as an HID device. This allows the scanner to begin charging sooner.

Batteries
Taiwan – Recycling
EPA (Environmental Protection Administration) requires dry battery producing or importing firms in accordance with Article 15 of the Waste Disposal Act are required to indicate the recycling marks on the batteries used in sales, giveaway or promotion. Contact a qualified Taiwanese recycler for proper battery disposal.
Battery Information
Caution: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of batteries according to instructions.
Use only Zebra approved batteries. Accessories which have battery charging capability are approved for use with the following battery models: Part Number BT-000317-01 (4.2 Vdc, 2400 mAh).
Zebra approved rechargeable battery packs are designed and constructed to the highest standards within the industry.
However, there are limitations to how long a battery can operate or be stored before needing replacement. Many factors affect the actual life cycle of a battery pack, such as heat, cold, harsh environmental conditions and severe drops.
When batteries are stored over six months, some irreversible deterioration in overall battery quality may occur. Store batteries at half of full charge in a dry, cool place, removed from the equipment to prevent loss of capacity, rusting of metallic parts and electrolyte leakage. When storing batteries for one year or longer, the charge level should be verified at least once a year and charged to half of full charge.
Replace the battery when a significant loss of run time is detected.
Standard warranty period for all Zebra batteries is one year, regardless if the battery was purchased separately or included as part of the mobile computer or barcode scanner. For more information on Zebra batteries, please visit: www.zebra.com/batterybasics.
