Charging the Backup Battery for the First Time

The MT380 is equipped with a Lithium-Ion battery pack. The MT380 may not power on after long storage periods without an external power adapter, due to battery discharge. In this case, connect the MT380 to the power adapter and recharge the device for about 12-hours.

NOTE: The MT380 can operate for approximately two hours (depending on the hardware configuration and backlight usage) or can store data for three days without external power. Operating the MT380’s backlight screen at 100 percent brightness, and using the fingerprint utility reader consumes the most power. Therefore, when the MT380 is disconnected from it’s external power source it will enter into sleep mode, which automatically turns off the backlight. Tapping the touch-screen will set the backlight screen to minimum brightness, saving battery power.

Check the Battery Status

This status icon appears on the MT380’s taskbar indicating low or very low battery status. The MT380 will enter suspend mode when the battery level reaches low status, and the MT380 will enter sleep mode when the battery level reaches very low status. There is a 12-hour time window to recharge the MT380, but after more than 12-hours there is a strong risk of losing all the data on the device’s internal memory.

This icon appears in the taskbar when the backup battery is low and the backup battery should be recharged as soon as possible.

Check the Power Properties by tapping → Settings → Control Panel → Power

When there is no external power, and the backup battery icon appears in the system tray, you should immediately backup the data from the MT380 or risk losing the data.

CAUTION! Immediately backup the MT380’s data or risk losing everything when there is no external power, and the backup battery icon appears in the system tray.
