Charging Spare Batteries
See the Accessories section for information on using accessories to charge spare batteries.
Hot Swap Mode/Backup Power
The device provides a Hot Swap mode where you can replace the battery without powering off the device.
When you remove the battery, the display turns off and the device enters the Hot Swap mode. WLAN and
Bluetooth connectivity are retained for the first 30 seconds (indicated by a flashing amber LED). After 30
seconds, the device enters a critical suspend mode with RAM data persistence for approximately 5
minutes. In the critical suspend mode, WLAN and Bluetooth radios are disabled and will only resume if you
insert a battery with sufficient charge into the device.
MPORTANT:
The supercap requires time to recharge after performing a Hot Swap or after the main battery
is fully depleted. It can take up to 10 minutes to fully charge the supercap. Hot Swap mode will not retain
data unless the supercap is fully charged.
Real-Time Clock Backup
The device provides a Real-time Clock (RTC) backup feature. After boot-up, the device saves the system
time in a file in persistent storage. When the device re-boots, it compares the system time to the time
saved in a file. If the system time in not the latest, it restores the time from the file.
Zebra Visibility Services
The device captures and provides device analytics to a system administrator. The first time the device
boots (or after a Factory reset), the Zebra Services agreement screen displays.
1. Leave Device Data enabled if you want the device to send analytics data.
2. Touch the Device Data switch to disable the device from sending analytics data.
3. Touch OK to confirm selection.
