Charging the Iridium Extreme Handset
The DriveDOCK Extreme provides charging power to the Extreme handset
via its accessory connector.
The Extreme Handset battery is a lithium-ion cell which has a safety
temperature range whilst charging. This range is from 0
°
C - 45
°
C (32
°
F - 104
°
F).
Due to the increased heating effects on the Extreme handset whilst it is
docked and being charged, it is ideal for the ambient temperature to be
approximately 10
°
C below the 45
°
C upper limit for the handset to charge the
battery whilst docked. If the battery temperature exceeds this limit, then the
Extreme may cease charging until the temperature is reduced.
NOTE:
Please allow for tolerance variation of the cutoff temperature in the
Iridium battery. Ensure the Dock solution is the best choice (versus a
fixed transceiver) for the installation, so that a compatible charging
environment is available.
