Battery Conservation Mode

The scanner offers three low power modes: 1) No timeout, 2) Don’t check base

network before timeout, and 3) Check base network before timeout.

The lowest standby current is achieved with “No timeout” selected. When the

scanner is idle, the standby current is about 15 mA. Radio contact is maintained

and workgroup configuration settings are maintained. “No timeout” is the default

setting and is recommended if the scanner is active for most of the workday and

the charge pack is removed when the scanner is not in use. Alternately, to fully

discharge the battery, leave the charge pack attached and power off the base. If

the scanner goes out of range or the base unit is powered off, the scanner goes

into an active search mode for the base. In this mode, the average current draw

is about 50 mA.

If “Don’t check base network before timeout” is selected and the scanner is idle,

the standby current is about 20 mA for one timeout period. The standby current

then drops to about 10 mA until the trigger is pulled. The timeout period is

selectable in increments of 15 minutes up to one hour. On the next trigger-pull,

the scanner begins the reassociation process to restore the radio link and the

workgroup configuration settings. This setting is recommended if the scanner is

left inactive for long periods of time during the workday or if the charge pack is

left attached when the scanner is not in use.

The “Check base network before timeout” mode is identical to the previous mode

except that when the timeout period expires, the scanner tests whether it is still

in radio contact with the base. If radio contact has been lost, the standby current

drops to about 10 mA; otherwise, it remains at 20 mA and the timeout clock

begins another timeout period. This setting may be recommended if the charge

pack is left attached and the base is powered off at the end of each working day.
