Why does the battery on my cordless scanner lose power when left in the scanner overnight?
The battery powers both the decoder and radio boards. When the scanner is idle, the decoder board is also idle, but the radio board is still operating. The radio board is designed to verify that the base is still within range or, to search for the base if the base is powered down. To preserve the battery, Battery Conservation Modes are available that will allow the scanner to ‘sleep’ while not in use. See your User Guide for assistance.
