Charging the Battery
Before using the device for the first time, or when it has not been used for an extended period,
the battery must be charged.
Warning: Use only Cat® approved chargers and cables. Unapproved equipment may cause
damage to the device or cause batteries to explode.
If the battery is completely discharged, it is not possible to switch on the device when the power
is first connected. Allow an exhausted battery to charge for at least five minutes before
attempting to switch on the device.
1. Open the USB cover and plug in the USB cable.
Note: Be aware of the plugs orientation. Damage can occur when the connector the is inserted
the wrong way, which is not covered by the warranty.
2. Insert the other end of the cable into the wall charger.
3. Insert the power cord on the wall charger into an electrical socket.
Note: Never remove the battery during charging as doing so may cause damage to the device.
4. When charging is complete, remove the connector from the device and then remove the
wall charger. Ensure that the USB port is correctly sealed, to protect the product from
moisture.
