9. Charging the battery
The BT200 can be charged from most powered mini-USB connections.
Charging Indication: The Smart Card Reader is charged using the PC/charge jack on
the bottom left side of the device.. The green LED will light continuously with occasional
quick flashes to indicate the reader is charging.
While it is not charging, the reader blinks on briefly. While it is charging, the reader
blinks off briefly. On Power-up: A green LED for a few seconds indicates a battery with
a good charge. A solid red LED indicates that the battery charge is low. No LEDs or
erratic LEDs indicate the battery is completely discharged.
Note: The Control Panel can display the battery voltage. For example 4004mv = 4.004
volts. A fully changed LI+ battery measures between 4.1 and 4.2 volts. Charging: It
takes approximately 180 minutes to charge a BT200-T using either a wall charger or
charging from a PC with the proper USB driver loaded
Wall charger: Attach the BT200-T to the wall charger and the BT200-T should indicate it
is charging (see above section “Charging Indication”).
Windows XP: The Windows XP PC must have the Apriva USB driver installed to ensure
proper charging operations. The Apriva Reader will power on automatically when it is
connected to a desktop computer. After several seconds, the green LED should blink
once per second to indicate a USB connection is present. If it is blinking once every 4
seconds, it is indicating it is powered, with no USB connection.
Troubleshooting: If the battery is allowed to discharge to the point where the unit will not
turn on: The BT200-T should be attached to either a USB wall charger or a PC with the
USB driver and allowed to charge for 20 to 30 minutes. Once the device has charged
for 20-30 minutes, turn it off and then turn it back on to finish fully charging.
If the PC USB connection doesn’t charge or charges too slowly, install the Apriva USB
driver onto the PC and charge the BT200-T again.
