Charging the Lithium-Ion Battery Pack
The WDT3200's batteries can be charged via the USB or serial communication cable, or via the optional docking station - both using the included AC adaptor. Please charge the battery for at least 4 hours per session to ensure a full charge. Please note that the first time charge should be for at least 12 hours (see below).
Charging the Main and Backup Battery for the First Time
When first charging the WDT3200, please allow at least 12 hours to fully charge both the main and backup batteries. When the WDT3200 arrives from the factory the backup battery switch is in the OFF position in order to protect the backup battery. Before charging the WDT3200, make sure the backup battery switch is moved to the ON position. The backup battery switch can be found inside the main battery compartment. Data loss can occur if the backup battery is not adequately charged - therefore it is imperative to ensure that the backup battery switch is in the ON position before charging for the first time.
Note: A properly charged backup battery can store data for up to 72 hours without power from the main battery. This is not recommended. Please make sure an adequately charged main battery or AC power is connected. Do not rely on the backup battery for other than unusual or emergency situations. To prevent data loss due to backup battery failure (always a slim possibility), please minimize the amount of time that the backup battery has to operate without the main battery pack installed or while disconnected from AC power.
