Chargers And Docking Stations

Important: The backup battery is trickle charged from the main battery. To maximize battery life, avoid excessive discharging and recharging of the backup battery by keeping the main battery fully charged.

IF YOU ARE POWERING UP A NEW UNIT, a warning message may appear on the screen indicating that the backup battery capacity is low. To recharge the backup battery, you must fully charge the WORKABOUT PRO with the main battery installed in the unit. An overnight charge is recommended.

Important: FOR DETAILED INFORMATION about chargers and docking stations, refer to Chapter 9: Peripheral Devices & Accessories beginning on page 297.

For battery safety, refer to “Lithium Ion Battery Safety Precau- tions” beginning on page XVIII.

Lithium Ion battery packs must be charged before use. These batteries can be charged with a variety of chargers and docking stations. These include:

•Desktop Docking Station (Model WA4002-G1 for the WORKABOUT PRO C & Model WA4102-G1 for the WORKABOUT PRO S)—operates as both a charger and a docking station. Operating as a charger, both the battery installed in the hand-held and a spare battery can be charged simul- taneously.

•Quad Docking Station (Model #WA4004-G1)—can charge the battery of up to four WORKABOUT PROs inserted in the docking station.

•Single Battery Charger (Model #WA3001-G1)—charges a single battery.

•Quad Battery Charger (Model #WA3004-G1)—charges up to four spare Standard or High-Capacity WORKABOUT PRO battery packs.

It can take up to 5 hours to charge a battery. The WORKABOUT PRO intelligent charging system protects the battery from over-charging by terminating the charge process when the battery is at maximum capacity.

Note: Refer to “Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time” on page 39 for additional information about the battery.

Important: To avoid damaging the battery, chargers will not begin the charge process until the battery temperature is between 0° C to 45 °C (32° F to 113° F).
