Guidelines for Managing Batteries (continued)
Cold
Temperatures
(Using the terminal
in sub-freezing
environments)
• If you use the terminal in a cold temperature environment, battery life will be
reduced. Battery life depends on temperature, battery model, input device, age of the
battery pack, your usage, and duty cycle factors. If you use the terminal for extended
periods of time in sub-freezing environments, you may need to change the main
battery pack more often.
• Do not store the terminal in a cold temperature environment. When you are not using
the terminal, keep it in a warmer area to make sure the battery chargers will continue
operating.
• If the Battery icon blinks, the backup battery charge is low. Move the terminal to a
warmer environment to charge the backup battery. The backup battery charger
operates between 32°F and 104°F (0°C and 40°C). If you are using the terminal in an
area outside this temperature range, the backup battery will not charge.
• Store the battery chargers and spare batteries in a warm (office) environment to
ensure the most efficient operation.
• Charge the main battery pack in an area or room where the temperature is above
freezing.
• If you have been using the terminal in a cold temperature environment and need to
replace or charge either battery, let the batteries warm up for a half hour before you
charge them.
