Power Management
The FC-500 uses a Li-Ion rechargeable battery pack.
CAUTION: Only use batteries designed for the FC-500 from
an approved vendor. Use of non-approved batteries may
void your product warranty.
Charging the Battery Pack
To charge the battery pack, turn off the display (suspend)
the handheld, then refer to the instructions in Chapter 1,
Getting Started. It typically takes 4 to 5 hours to fully charge a
battery pack.
We recommend that you keep the handheld battery pack
charging when it is not in use for up to two weeks. When you
plug the handheld into the wall charger that comes with it,
the batteries are prevented from being overcharged.
The Li-Ion battery pack is charged most efciently at
room temperature (68°F or 20°C). The battery pack will not
charge if it is too hot or too cold.
CAUTION: The FC-500 is not sealed against water and dust
when the battery door is not installed properly.
Battery Life
Battery life on a full charge is generally up to 20 hours. This
can vary depending on the applications used, backlight
usage, and radio usage.
