Main Battery and Memory Backup Battery Charging
The mobile computer’s cradles, snap-ons and spare battery chargers can be used to charge the mobile
computer’s main battery.
Before using the mobile computer for the first time, fully charge the main battery (until the charge
indicator light remains lit) see
Table 1-1 on page 1-13 . Charge time is approximately four hours. The
mobile computer can be charged using a cradle, a CAM or MSR (with a charging cable) or the main
battery can be removed and charged using a spare battery charger.
The mobile computer is equipped with a memory backup battery which automatically charges from
the fully-charged main battery. When the mobile computer is used for the first time, the backup
battery requires approximately 15 hours to fully charge. This is also true any time the backup battery
is discharged which occurs when the main battery is removed for several hours. The backup battery
retains data in memory for at least 30 minutes after the mobile computer's main battery is removed.
When the mobile computer reaches very low battery state, the combination of main battery and
backup battery will retain data in memory for at least 72 hours.
