Battery Charging
Rechargeable AAA batteries cannot be recharged in the mobile computer. Refer to the rechargeable AAA
battery product information for charging instructions.
Use the mobile computer’s cradles, charge cables, and spare battery chargers to charge the mobile computer’s main Li-ion battery.
Before using the mobile computer for the first time, fully charge the main Li-ion battery. When the Li-ion battery is fully charged the
Charge LED remains lit. See Table 1-2 on page 1-9. Charge time for the Li-ion battery is usually less than four hours. Charge the mobile
computer using a cradle or charge cable, or remove and charge the main Li-ion battery using a spare battery charger.
The mobile computer is equipped with a memory backup battery which automatically charges from the main battery. When the mobile
computer is used for the first time, the backup battery requires approximately 20 hours to fully charge. This is also true any time the
backup battery is discharged which occurs when the main battery is removed for several hours. The backup battery retains data in
memory for at least 30 minutes after the mobile computer's main battery is removed. When the mobile computer reaches a very low
battery state, the combination of main battery and backup battery retains data in memory for at least 72 hours.
Do not remove the main battery within the first 15 hours of use. If the main battery is removed before the backup battery
is fully charged, data may be lost.
Use the following accessories to charge the Li-ion battery:
• Cradles:
• Single Slot Serial/USB cradle
• Four Slot USB cradle.
• Cables (and a power supply):
• USB Client Charge cable
• RS232 Charge cable.
• Spare Battery Charger:
• Single Slot Serial/USB cradle.
