BASIC USAGE INFORMATION
USING INTERNAL BATTERIES
The SDS100 is powered by a Lithium Ion battery.
When the scanner is turned on, the scanner does not charge the batteries. When the scanner is
turned off, the scanner will charge the batteries.
You charge the scanner’s battery by connecting a USB power source to the scanner’s USB mini
connector and powering off the scanner. Note that the power source must be rated 1A or higher to
charge at a full rate. If you connect to a PC or other lower-power USB source, charging will take
longer. You can power the scanner by connecting to either the USB micro or mini connector, but
only the mini connector can be used for charging.
The included AC adapter is rated at 2A and can power or charge the SDS100
The scanner’s charge indicator is red during charge and green when complete.
Note: If the scanner gets too hot while charging, it will turn off automatically.

Display.”
