Battery Charging Indicators
The Single Slot USB/Serial Cradle charges the EDA’s main battery and a spare battery simultaneously.
The EDA’s charge LED indicates the status of the battery charging in the EDA. See Table 1-2 on page 1-7 for
charging status indications.
The spare battery charging LED on the cradle indicates the status of the spare battery charging in the cradle.
See
Table 5-1 for charging status indications.
The standard battery fully charges in approximately four hours and the extended capacity battery fully charges
in approximately eight hours.
Charging Temperature
Charge batteries in temperatures from 0
o
C to 40
o
C (32°F to 104°F). Note that at temperatures above 35
o
C,
charging is intelligently controlled by the EDA and the charging accessory in order to ensure safe operation
and optimize long-term battery life.
To accomplish this, for small periods of time, the EDA or accessory alternately enables and disables battery
charging to keep the battery at acceptable temperatures. The EDA or accessory indicates when charging is
disabled due to abnormal temperatures via its LED. See
Table 1-2 on page 1-7 and Table 5-1 .
Four Slot Ethernet Cradle
This section describes how to set up and use a Four Slot Ethernet cradle with the EDA. For cradle
communication setup procedures refer to the MC70 Integrator Guide.
The Four Slot Ethernet cradle:
• Provides 5.4 VDC power for operating the EDA.
• Connects the EDA (up to four) to an Ethernet network.
