Battery Charging and Operating Power

The communication/charge cable s can charge the EDA battery and supply operating power.
To charge the EDA battery:
1. Connect the communication/charge cable power input connector to the Symbol approved power source.
2. Slide the bottom of the EDA into the connecto r end of the commun ication/charge cable and g ently pres s in
until it latches into the EDA. The EDA amber Charge LED indicates the EDA battery charging status. The
standard b attery charges in less than four hou rs and the extended cap acity battery charges in less than six
hours. See Table 1-2 on page 1-7 for charging status indications.
3. When charging is complete, remove the cable by gently pulling the EDA and the cable apart.

LED Charge Indications

The amber Charge LED on the EDA indicates battery charging status. See Table 1-2 on page 1-7 for charging
status indications.
Charging Temperature
Charge batteries in temperatures from 0oC to 40oC (32°F to 104°F). Note that at temperatures above 35oC,
charging is intelligently controlled by the EDA and the charging accessory in order to ensure safe operation
and optimize long-term battery life.
To accomplish this, for small periods of time, the EDA or accessory alternately enables and disables battery
charging to keep the battery at acceptable temperatures. The EDA or accessory indicates when charging is
disabled due to abnormal temperatures via its LED. See Table 1-2 on page 1-7.4
