Place the scanner on its cradle to charge the battery via the wireless charging system; ensure the cradle and scanner contacts are kept free of heavy contamination for optimal performance.

Recommendations

For best scanning performance, select the High Density (HD) variant when routinely reading very small or densely packed codes. When used in healthcare settings, choose the disinfectant-ready model and follow facility cleaning protocols compatible with the device enclosure.
