Quick Start
1.2. CHARGING & COMMUNICATION
1.2.1. CHARGE MOBILE COMPUTER
The main battery may not be charged to full for shipment. When you first receive the kit
package, you will need to charge the main battery to full before using the mobile computer.
You may use the Snap-on Charging Cable or Charging & Communication Cradle along with
a power adapter to charge the mobile computer.
Your device can also be charged by connecting to a host computer using the USB cable. It's
slower than charging using the supplied snap-on cable or Charging & Communication
Cradle.
CHARGING TIME
Main battery: The main battery powers the mobile computer to work. It takes
approximately 4 hours to charge an empty main battery to full. For the first time
charging the main battery, please charge it for at least 8 to 12 hours. The charging LED
above the screen (located on the right) will light up in red while charging and will turn
green when charging is complete.
When the main battery is removed, RTC retention will be maintained for at least 30
minutes.
Backup battery: The backup battery is mounted on the main board. Its role is to
temporarily keep the mobile computer in suspension when the main battery is drained
out so data in DRAM will be retained. The backup battery takes approximately 3.5 hours
to charge to full by the main battery or power adapter.
CHARGING TEMPERATURE
The allowed battery charging ambient temperature is between 0°C to 40°C. It is
recommended to charge the battery at room temperature (18°C to 25°C) for optimal
performance.
Please note that battery charging stops when ambient temperature drops below 0°C or
exceeds 40°C.
OPERATION ON BATTERY POWER
When Bluetooth 2.1EDR/4.0 BLE/V4.1, 802.11 b/g/n, 802.11a/n,
GSM/GPRS/EDGE/WCDMA/UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA/HSPA+/LTE, and GPS are all enabled on
battery power, the main battery level will drop down substantially. Prolonged use of the
display and continued scanning of barcodes will also affect battery level.
In order to prevent system from shutting down after the battery is drained out, we suggest
that you keep a fresh battery for replacement at all times, or connect the mobile computer
to an external power.
