Step 2. Charge the Batteries

Optimus 5900 RFID terminals ship with both the

 

main battery pack and internal backup battery

 

significantly discharged of power. Use the power

 

supply cable to charge the main battery pack. The

 

LED turns green (red while charging) when

 

charging is complete. The average charge time for

 

a fully depleted main battery is 7 hours. It takes

1

less time if the battery has some charge.

 

1. Attach the plug adapter to the plug of the power supply cable (if not already attached).*

2. Insert the plug into the appropriate power source.
3. Plug the Optimus 5900 RFID power supply

2

cable into the DC Power Jack (see page 3-10)

 

on the bottom end of the unit.

 

Note: If you remove the battery pack or it completely

3

discharges, there is a 30 minute window in which

 

to insert a charged battery pack before the backup battery completely discharges. If your backup battery completely discharges, the contents of the RAM memory will be lost. If your backup battery is less than fully charged, there is a proportionally smaller window of time available.

! We recommend use of Honeywell peripherals, power cables, and power adapters. Use of any non- Honeywell peripherals, cables, or power adapters may cause damage not covered by the warranty. DO NOT attempt to charge damp/wet mobile computers or batteries. All components must be dry before connecting to an external power source.

Step 3. Boot the Terminal

The terminal begins booting as soon as power is applied and runs by itself. Do NOT press any keys or interrupt the boot process.

When the boot process is complete, the Desktop appears, and the terminal is ready for use.
