2.4.2 Charging the Battery Pack with Cradle
Figure 2-10 Charging with Cradle
How to charge Argox rechargeable battery pack in the cradle
1. Make sure that the Argox rechargeable battery pack is inserted in the terminal. If the
terminal with the battery pack is placed in the cradle, the LED on the cradle will turn
Orange first and turn to Green at once. When the terminal is placed in the cradle, the
rechargeable battery pack will be charged automatically.
2. If you have a spare Argox battery pack, you can replace the empty battery pack with
a full battery pack for continuous terminal operation. And put the empty battery
pack in the charging slot of the cradle. The LED (CHG) on the cradle will turn to
Red in flashing and turn to Green again when the battery is full.
When to replace or recharge the main battery
There are two conditions that you need to replace the main battery.
1. As soon as possible after the battery indicator or “Battery Low” tip appears on the
display.
2. Before using the terminal again, in case it has not been used for an extended period.
Caution: Ambient Temperature Ranges for the Battery Pack

Temperature ranges for battery pack use in the terminal, charging,
and storage is specified below. Temperatures outside these ranges
create the danger of deterioration of battery pack performance and
shortening of its service life, as well as fluid leakage and heat
generation.
Operating Temperature: -20 to 50℃
Charging Temperature 0 to 40℃
Storage Temperature: -20 to 60℃

If the battery pack charge indicator does not light during charging,
remove the battery pack and then re-attach it. If this does not solve
the problem, it means that the battery pack is defective and needs to
be replaced.

Use only the specified battery pack.

Battery packs naturally discharge even when they are not loaded in
the terminal. Use a battery pack as soon as possible after charging it.

For best charging results, keep the cradle, terminal and battery pack
contacts clean by periodically wiping them off with a cotton swab or
dry cloth.
