USER’S GUIDE Triton Wireless Hand-held Terminal
Battery
The Triton hand-held computer uses a single battery to supply power to the entire unit. The
standard 7.2 Volt, 19.2 Watt-hour battery allows the unit to run continuously for over eight
hours, even in the most demanding environments.
WARNING: Use only Lithium-Ion batteries provided by American Microsystems, Ltd. The use
of other batteries can result in improper charging, short circuits, fire, and explosion. The use of
3rd party batteries will void all warranties on the Triton hand-held computer.
NOTE: Lithium-Ion batteries and battery packs provide 300-500 charge/discharge cycles, and although they are
not susceptible to “battery memory” like older Nickel-Cadmium technologies, they do lose capacity as they
age. When a battery is no longer able to supply ample charge for the application it should be recycled.
The Triton battery can be charged either through an external battery charger or from within
the hand- held computer when the unit is placed in the charging and communication
cradle. Typical charging time will vary depending on charging mode and charger.
WARNING: Triton Batteries should only be charged with American Microsystems, Ltd. battery
chargers approved for Triton batteries.
The Triton hand-held computer will alert the user when the battery has reached a critical
level. The unit’s battery should be replaced with a fully charged Triton battery or the unit
should be placed back into the charging and communication cradle.
