Title: total waste of a lot of money
Product review: I bought this docupen 800 from the planon website at $299 through a friend in US, since they would not accept non US address. The pen automatically turns off after scanning for a few seconds. I tried to charge the battery, assuming it is a battery problem, but since there is no indicator showing it is charging, I still do not know whether I have been able to charge the battery, and the scanner still can't scan for more than a few seconds, which covers only a few lines of a page. The manual is badly written, does not cover trouble shooting, and does not explain why some buttons are flashing after a few seconds of scanning and before it shuts off automatically. It also does not take user through step by step, such as start by checking if battery is working, how to charge it, and so on. A total disappointment.
