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 7 on page 85. 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 indicates when charging is disabled due to
abnormal temperatures via the Status LED.
