Charging The Battery
8.3.5 Charging The Battery
When the terminal with battery is inserted in the charger, all LEDs light up. After a
few seconds, the “Ready” and “Fault” LEDs turn off. The “Charge” LED remains
on, indicating the fast charge is in progress. The “Power” LED should always be on.
Note: If the 7035 is powered up when it is inserted in the charger, it will be
turned off automatically.
Battery Charged And Ready
Typically, a fast charge takes 3.5 to 4 hours. When the “Charge” LED turns off and
the green “Ready” LED turns on, the fast charge cycle is complete and the terminal
is ready for use.
8.3.6 Battery Charge Fault Conditions
The “Fault” LED remains on under one of the following circumstances:
• The charger cannot read valid data from the battery pack.
• The battery is not compatible with the 7942 charger.
• The battery pack is set to “inhibit charge”.
• The battery is defective (cell damage).
• The battery temperature is outside the acceptable charge range – 10˚ C to
30˚ C (50˚ F to 86˚ F).
The “Fault” LED blinks when a charge process has failed. Some possible causes are
listed below:
• The battery temperature has gone outside of the acceptable charge range.
• The charger cannot communicate with the battery pack.
• The battery is defective.
• The battery did not complete the charge cycle within the maximum timeout
period.
When the terminal is removed from the charger, the “Fault” LED should turn off. If
this LED remains on after the terminal is removed, refer to Section 8.3.7, “Charger
Fault Conditions,” on page 206.
