    1. place the scanner into the charge stand.

    2. push the stand tilt cup in the extreme down position to expose the hole for the discharge cycle switch.

    3. use a pin to push the discharge cycle switch located beneath the hole.

    4. when the discharge mode is initiated the green led flashes.

    recommended use

    to maintain charge capacity, the nicd batteries must be discharged fully before charging. we call this process reconditioning.

    recondition if:

    ·the batteries were not used within 20 days

    ·the batteries were not discharged (approximately two hours of continuous operation) at least once a week

    ·low battery indicators:

    ·both led's on the scanner blink

    ·the scanner quietly beeps twice while scanning

    recondition once a week if:

    ·the batteries do not get discharged for more than 20% (approximately 1/2 hour) of their capacity before recharging.

    recondition once every two weeks if:

    ·the batteries do not get discharged for more than 50% (approximately 1 hour) of their capacity before recharging.

    the day to day usage of the nicd batteries will determine the frequency of the discharges (reconditioning).
