Using the Battery
The tablet includes a high-capacity Lithium-ion battery that fits into the back of the unit. Battery life varies by
configuration, applications in use, which features are used, and the operating conditions. The maximum battery
capacity decreases with time and use.
CAUTION:
To avoid personal injury, handle the battery with care. Don’t open, puncture, short, or expose it to fire or
water. For example, do not leave the battery in a closed car in hot weather for an extended time. For more information,
see the Regulatory Guide in the L10 User Documentation at the zebra.com/support
site.
