PRINTPAD MC70 USER'S GUIDE
Charging the Batteries and Handheld
Computer
If the battery is low when the printer “wakes up,” the
printer sounds three short beeps.
1. Remove the red battery isolator labels, if necessary.
2. Plug the power supply connector into the printer's
external DC port. The DC port is located on the side
of the printer's case (Figure 4).
3. Plug the adapter in an appropriate power source.
The Charge LED flashes red when charging and flashes
green when fully charged. The Charge LED is visible
when the printer's lid is open or closed. A complete
charge takes approximately 7-9 hours. For more
information on the Charge LEDs, see PrintPad MC70
LEDs and Indicators on page 12
.
Caution: To obtain full battery capacity, a new battery
must cycle through two to three charges. To restart a
charge, unplug the power cord. Wait 30 seconds, then
replug the power cord.
Note: The MC70 Handheld Computer will charge while
power is plugged into the DC power port.
