Charging your handheld
Your handheld is powered by an external rechargeable lithium battery. This
battery is stored on the back of your handheld; you can remove it, if you want.
Before operating your handheld, familiarize yourself with proper battery use and
care by reading the safety information in this guide. The cradle is used to charge
the battery.
When you first receive your handheld you must charge the battery before using it.
To connect the cradle to your computer
Before charging your handheld, connect the cradle to your computer.
1. Connect the AC adapter to the cradle’s serial port connector, as illustrated
below.
2. Plug the cradle cable into an available COM port on your computer.
3. Plug the AC adapter cord into a wall outlet.
Note When connecting your handheld to your computer, use only the cradle

Note Use the appropriate power supply as specified on the label on the bottom of
your handheld’s cradle.
If you only want to charge your handheld and do not want to use the desktop
software, you do not need to connect the cradle cable to an available COM
port on your computer.
