Abstract
A scanning apparatus is provided that includes communications circuitry and a universal power interface configured to receive a removable power source connected thereto. The scanning apparatus includes a control system that can establish a first communication connection with the charging cradle in accordance with a normal mode, establish a second communication connection with the charging cradle in accordance with a low power mode, and determine a type of the removable power source connected to the scanning apparatus. In response to determining that a first type of removable power source is connected, suspend the second communication connection and use the first communication connection for transmitting data/information to the charging cradle, and in response to determining that a second type of removable power source is connected, suspend the first communication connection and use the second communication connection for transmitting data/information to the charging cradle.
