LED Charging Indicators
Charge LED
The MC55’s charge LED shows the status of the battery charging in the MC55. See Table 1-1 on page 1-6 for
charging status indications.
The 2400 mAh battery fully charges in approximately four hours and the 3600 mAh battery fully charges in
approximately six hours.
Speed LED
The cradle’s green Speed LED lights to indicate that the transfer rate is 100 Mbps. When it is not lit it indicates that
the transfer rate is 10Mbps.
Link LED
The cradle’s yellow Link LED blinks to indicate activity, or stays lit to indicate that a link is established. When it is
not lit it indicates there is no link.
Charging Temperature
Charge batteries in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). Charging is intelligently controlled by the
MC55.
To accomplish this, for small periods of time, the MC55 alternately enables and disables battery charging to keep
the battery at acceptable temperatures. The MC55 indicates when charging is disabled due to abnormal
temperatures via its LED. See Table 1-1 on page 1-6.
