Wireless Reader: Charging

When you are reading codes with your wireless reader, blinking red status indicators will indicate a low battery. As the battery discharges, the blink frequency increases. A blinking red status indicator indicates low battery or thermal shutdown mode.

You can also check the status of the battery in the DataMan Setup Tool.

Place the reader on the base station for charging. Make sure that the pins at the end of the handle make contact with the pins in the base station.
