Charging the Ni-MH Batteries The scanner has a built-in circuit that charges the included Ni-MH batteries when a USB cable connects it to a computer (NOT to a USB hub) or to an AC or DC adapter that provides USB charging power. Verify that the battery selection switch is set to Ni-MH and that only Ni-MH rechargeable batteries are inserted in the scanner before connecting it to your computer. Caution: Never attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries or install non-rechargeable batteries when the battery selection switch is set to Ni-MH. The USB cable will only charge the batteries if the scanner is turned off. 1. Be sure the scanner is turned off. It will recharge only if it is turned off, even with the USB cable connecting it to a computer. 2. Connect the included USB cable to the scanner's USB port. 3. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the computer's USB port or to an AC or DC adapter that provides USB charging power. NOTE: If you connect to a computer's USB port, the PC will prompt you for the drivers for your scanner. To download and install these drivers, go to http://info.uniden.com/UnidenMan4/BC125AT. 4. The scanner displays Charging while it charges the batteries and Charge Complete when the Ni-MH batteries are completely charged.
