Motion Computing MotionTM C5 manual Using the battery charging bay

Using the battery charging bay

The battery charging bay at the rear of the Docking Station enables simultaneous charging of the C5 and an additional battery. You can change the battery in the charging bay while a C5 is docked and in use (hot-swappable) or when a C5 is not docked (warm-swappable).

WARNING: While charging the battery during hot-swapping, avoid lifting the C5 and disconnecting the C5 from the docking connector on the Docking Station, which will cause a power loss to the C5.

When the Docking Station is used only for charging the C5 battery and spare battery, set the viewing angle to 15° to save space and improve stability.

Note: The spare battery continues to charge when the C5 is not in the Docking Station.
