Unpacking the Terminal
When you remove the terminal from its box, save the box and shipping material in case
you need to ship or store the terminal. Check the contents of the box against the invoice
for completeness and contact your local Intermec service representative if there is a
problem.
Charging the Main Battery Pack
The terminal’s main battery pack is a lithium-ion battery. You must fully charge the
battery pack before you can use the terminal.
Tip: Keep a spare charged main battery pack on hand to operate the terminal without
interruption.
To charge the main battery pack
• Place the battery pack in an empty slot in the battery charger. The battery pack is
fully charged in about two hours. For help, see the documentation that came with
your battery charger.
You can also use the communications dock or the optical link adapter to trickle-charge
the battery pack. You must have a power supply connected to the dock or optical link
adapter to charge the battery pack. For help, see the TRAKKER Antares TD2400
Communications Dock Quick Reference Guide or the TRAKKER Antares Optical Link
Adapter Quick Reference Guide.
