2. Insert the lithium-ion battery in the battery compartment with
the battery tether positioned properly (as shown below),

Charging the Battery
Before using your PDT 8100 for the first time, charge the lithium-
ion battery in the terminal for about 2 1/2 hours, using the CRD
8100 Cradle or the Synchronization Cable. Follow these same
procedures to recharge the battery.
Your terminal is equipped with a memory backup battery which
automatically charges from the fully-charged lithium-ion battery.
This backup battery retains data in memory when the terminal’s
battery is removed, and takes several hours to charge when you
first use your terminal.
Note: If you remove your lithium-ion battery before the back-
up battery is fully charged, data may be lost. For this
reason, DO NOT remove the battery within the first ten
hours of use.

Charging the Battery Using the CRD 8100 Cradle

8100 Quick Reference Guide.
