The ScanSnap is powered and charged through a USB port on a computer. Use the USB port that provides a power supply of 500 mA to charge the battery.

Use the supplied USB cable or the optional USB power adapter to charge the battery.

Charge the battery in proper air temperature conditions (5 to 35 degrees C/41 to 95 degrees F).

Do not charge the battery in the following cases:

• The shape of the USB cable plug was once deformed.

• The USB cable is damaged.

• Foreign objects get on the plugs of the USB cable and the USB connector which is on iX100.

Do not charge the battery in the following environments:

• Places which are subject to high humidity, dust, or vibration

• Places near conventional phones, televisions, or radios

Check that iX100 does not get wet before charging.

The battery can be charged while iX100 is being used. Although the following symptoms may occur during a charge, it does not affect iX100 in any way.

• It takes time until charging completes.

• The remaining battery power is reduced and charging is not completed.

• iX100 is automatically turned off during a scan.

The battery reaches the end of its life after 300 to 500 times of charges and discharges. The battery life varies depending on the conditions that iX100 is used in.

The battery naturally discharges over time even if it is not used.

When you use iX100 in low temperatures, the charged battery may run out quickly.
