Power supply and power consumption
For portability, the YOXIMO is powered by a rechargeable, high-energy Lithium-Ion battery with a
capacity of 1200 mAh at a nominal voltage of 7.6 VDC. The battery management system features
a fuel gauge, so the user always has accurate information on battery status. The user can replace
the battery when necessary.
Charging the battery
The battery can be charged:
• by connecting the power adaptor to the YOXIMO
• by placing the YOXIMO on its cradle (for indoor or in-vehicle use)
The YOXIMO terminal uses a high-energy Lithium-Ion battery. To to get the best performance and
the longest life from the battery:
• always disconnect the power adaptor from the terminal before removing the battery
• always operate the YOXIMO terminal with the battery in place to avoid damage to the terminal
• only charge the battery when it is in the YOXIMO terminal
• charge the battery regularly – do not wait for it go flat
You can charge the battery by connecting the power adaptor to the YOXIMO or by placing the
YOXIMO on its cradle. As Lithium-Ion batteries do not suffer from being continuously charged, you
can do so without affecting the battery performance. When the low battery message appears on
the display, the terminal needs to be charged.
• a new battery achieves full performance only after two or three complete charge-discharge
cycles
• for quick and efficient results, charge the battery at room temperature
When the terminal is connected to the power adaptor or placed on its cradle, charging is software-
controlled depending on the battery charge status.
When you will not be using the terminal for more than a week, charge the battery to around 40%
before removing it from the terminal and storing it. Do not leave the battery inside the terminal.
Another option is to keep the battery powered (directly or via the cradle) all the time.
Caring for batteries
Lithium-Ion batteries can be left charging all the time, because they do not suffer from the “memory
effect”. Recharging an empty battery takes about 2.5 hours. A separate battery charger is not
available for this type of battery.
