Setup
1. Battery Charging
Connect the tablet to AC power using the USB
power block and USB C charging cord and
fully charge the battery.
When the tablet is turned on, the level of
battery charge is indicated in the upper right
corner of the screen.
Note: MD-500 is supplied with 2 USB C power
cables and 1 USB power block.
Battery Life Tips
The tablet is an Android based touch-screen
tablet. The battery life icon shows charge
level. The scan tool lets you know how much
battery life is left by viewing the icon located
at the top right of the home screen. Like all
Android devices, there are tips to help extend
or maximize battery life.
When not actively being used, the screen
will timeout and the scan tool display will
power off, while application remains running
in background. The user can set the length
of delay between the last screen touch and
automatic screen timeout (dim and lock).
From the Home screen, touch the Android
App button - Settings - Display.
Select Screen timeout, then select the length
of time from the last screen touch and
automatic screen timeout.
To use again, press the power button to wake
the tool up. This will allow maximum run time,
while not limiting productivity.
When the tool is powered up, even if it is not
being actively used, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth®
radios as well as all other necessary
hardware are still being powered. Battery
life is comparable to similar devices when in
this state.
2. Docking Station
The tablet, VCI, and cords should be stored
in the docking station when not in use. The
docking station powers the VCI and provides
a slow, steady charge to the tablet to preserve
battery integrity.
Seat the tablet and VCI in the docking station
so that the docking station connector at
the bottom of each device connects to the
docking station.
The docking station includes two convenient
USB ports to charge accessories and
other devices.
Notes:
• The docking station will not charge the
tablet if the tablet’s USB port is in use.
Ensure no devices are connected to the USB
port on the tablet before connecting to the
docking station.
• For fastest charging, charge the tablet
using the USB power block and USB C
charging cord.
