* Loud audible tone

* Cast metal case

* Replaceable AAA nickel-cadmium batteries

* Direct sunlight reading ability

* Optional infrared read head

* Security reset attached key ring

BATTERY INFORMATION AND WARNINGS

The DuraWand uses four AAA nickel-cadmium batteries. To prolong battery life, press the

DuraWand scan button once after you insert the DuraWand into the Recharger / Downloader Station and

once after you remove it from the Recharger / Downloader Station. This ensures that the DuraWand is in

a low power consumption state, enabling it to accept a charge while it is in the Recharger / Downloader

Station and conserve the battery charge while out of the Recharger / Downloader Station. The battery

charge will also last longer if you release the scan button between scans.

The Recharger / Downloader Station will only recharge nickel-cadmium batteries. Alkaline batteries

must not be recharged. Remove a DuraWand with alkaline batteries from the Recharger / Downloader

Station immediately after programming and data transfer has been completed. You may use alkaline

batteries in an emergency but do not leave them in the Recharger / Downloader Station any longer

than absolutely necessary.

WARNINGS

DO NOT put a DuraWand without batteries into a Recharger / Downloader Station.

DO NOT mix battery types (i.e. nickel-cadmium and alkaline).

DO NOT mix new and used batteries. Replace all four batteries for optimum battery performance.

DO NOT leave a DuraWand with alkaline batteries in the Recharger / Downloader Station any

longer than necessary. A DuraWand with alkaline batteries should be in the Recharger / Downloader

Station only for programming and transfer of data.

DO NOT dispose of batteries in fire.

DO transfer data from the DuraWand using the Videx Downloader application before replacing

batteries. Any data in the DuraWand will be lost during battery replacement.

DO install the batteries correctly, or you will cause damage to your DuraWand.

Do not leave a Durawand with alkaline batteries in the Recharger/

Downloader Station for more than thirty minutes. Doing so will

cause damage to the Durawand and/or the Recharger/Downloader

Station.
