CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
The battery pack autonomy varies according to factors such as the frequency of
barcode scanning, RF usage, etc.
The battery icon on the Taskbar indicates when the battery pack is low.
It is possible to recharge the battery pack by connecting the power supply
directly to the Formula™.
Alternatively, it is also possible to recharge the battery pack by using the
Formula™ single cradle.
During the charging process the LED positioned at the right side of the display
is red constant. Once the charging process has been completed this LED is
green constant (see par. 3.7).
If the battery pack is removed from the mobile computer, it can be recharged by
inserting it into the rear slot of the Formula™ single cradle.
NOTE
The battery pack autonomy varies according to many factors,
such as the frequency of barcode scanning, RF usage, battery
life, storage, environmental conditions, etc.
CAUTION
If the battery pack is new or has not been recharged for a
long time, it is necessary to perform two or three charging
and discharging cycles (complete use) before it can reach
its maximum charge capability.
The maximum time required to recharge a completely run-
down battery pack is about 3 hours if the mobile computer
is idling.
NOTE
Even if the storage temperature range is wider, In order to
achieve the longest battery life, store the terminal and the
spare batteries between 20 to 30 ºC (68 to 86 ºF).
The Batteries must be charged at a temperature ranging
from 0° to +45 °C (+32° to +113 °F).
