Changing the Main Battery Pack

Before installing a battery pack, press the Power button to put the terminal in Suspend Mode (see page 3-15)so that operations are suspended before removing the main power source. The Optimus 5900 RFID terminal is shipped with the battery separate from the unit. You will need to remove the battery door, insert the battery, and replace the battery door. Refer to the instructions included in Installing the Main Battery section (page 2-1).

Note: The battery door must be installed prior to booting the unit.

Main Battery

Charging

When the battery is installed in the terminal, you may charge the device by either using the USB cable or by placing the terminal in the Optimus 5900 RFID eBase Device (Model: 5900-EHB)(see page 9-1).

To fully charge the Li-Ion battery before installing it in the terminal insert the battery in the spare battery charging well in the back of Optimus 5900 RFID eBase.

Charging Time

The 5000mAh battery pack charges to full capacity in an average of 7 hours for a fully depleted battery. It takes less time if the battery has some charge.

Managing Main Battery Power

Data and files saved on the Optimus 5900 RFID terminal may be stored in RAM memory; therefore, maintain a continuous power supply to the terminal to help prevent data loss. When you remove a battery pack, insert another charged battery pack into the Optimus 5900 RFID terminal. If the main battery pack is low, insert the terminal into a charging peripheral to power the terminal and begin recharging the battery.

Note: If the main battery is low and the terminal is in Suspend Mode, pressing the Power button does not wake the Optimus 5900 RFID terminal; you must first replace the discharged battery with a fully charged battery or apply A/C power to the terminal.
