1.1.2 CHARGING THE BATTERY
The main and backup batteries may not be charged to full for shipment. When you
first receive the package, you will need to charge batteries to full before using the
mobile computer.
Note: To charge the batteries to full, it requires approximately 8 hours for the first time.
After the initial charging, it takes only 4 hours to charge the batteries to full.
Because the internal backup battery is constantly charged from the main battery,
the initial charging requires inserting the battery pack to the mobile computer and
then seating the mobile computer in the cradle for charging. This will have both the
main and backup batteries charged at the same time. To charge the backup
battery, make sure that you slide the DIP switch inside the battery compartment to
the ON position.
Note: For a new battery, make sure it is fully charged before use. Always prepare a
spare battery pack, especially when you are on the road.
