Charging
After unpacking your Vx6xx terminal, install the battery and connect the power
pack to the unit for 6 hours.
It is also recommended that the smart battery receive a periodic full discharge. To
ensure a full discharge, use the unit until the battery is fully drained.
The smart battery has a safety circuit to protect the Li-ion cells from overcharging
and over-discharging. If the battery is over-discharged, the safety circuit shuts
down the battery. The battery must then be recharged to restore operation.
NOTE Conserve battery power by turning the Vx6xx terminal off when not in use. If the
terminal is not to be used for several days, remove the battery from the terminal
as it continues to discharge even when the terminal is turned off.
