Battery Charging
The RS6000 Charging LED indicates the charging status of the battery in the RS6000 and the Spare Battery Charging LED
indicates the charging status of the spare battery. See Table 1-2 on page 1-9. The 3,350 mAh battery fully charges in less
than four hours at room temperature.
Charge batteries in temperatures from 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F). The device and cradle monitor the battery
temperature. Battery charging is only performed when the battery is within safe charging temperature limits. At higher
temperatures (e.g. approximately +35 °C (+95 °F)) the device or charging cradle may for small periods of time alternately
enable and disable battery charging to keep the battery at acceptable temperatures. This process may require additional
time to complete a full charge cycle. The cradle indicate when charging is disabled due to abnormal temperatures via the
Status LED.
