Battery Charging
Use the mobile computer’s cradles, charge cables, and spare battery chargers to charge the mobile computer’s
main Li-ion battery.
Before using the mobile computer for the first time, fully charge the main Li-ion battery. When the Li-ion battery is
fully charged the Charge LED remains lit. See Table 1-2 on page 1-6. Charge time for the Li-ion battery is usually
less than four hours. Charge the mobile computer using a cradle or charge cable, or remove and charge the main
Li-ion battery using a spare battery charger.
The mobile computer is equipped with a memory backup battery which automatically charges from the main
battery. When the mobile computer is used for the first time, the backup battery requires approximately 20 hours to
fully charge. This is also true any time the backup battery is discharged which occurs when the main battery is
removed for several hours. The backup battery retains data in memory for at least 30 minutes after the mobile
