Charge the Batteries and Mobile 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 power port.
The DC power port is located on the side of the printer’s case.
3 Plug the adapter into 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 to 9 hours.
For more information on Charge LEDs, see “Status LEDs and Indicators” on
page 5.
Note: 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. The mobile computer will charge while power is
plugged into the DC power port while properly seated in the mobile computer
cavity.
Do not plug DC power into the internal and external power ports at the
same time. Do not plug the DC power supply into the printer if the printer
is being charged by means of external charge contacts.
