Battery and
Power Supply/Charger
The 475 Field Communicator is powered by a Lithium Ion battery (Power Module) that
has a green, 6-pin connector. The power supply/charger also has a green connector to
match the appropriate connector on the battery. See Figure 2-1 for the location of the
connector.
Prior to using the 475 Field Communicator without the power supply/charger
connected, fully charge the battery.
Guidelines and Precautions
Before using the battery or power supply/charger, understand and follow the guidelines
and precautions below.
• When transporting a Li-Ion battery, follow all applicable regulations.
• Charge the battery with only the Field Communicator power supply/charger. The
power supply/charger should not be used with other products. Failure to comply
may permanently damage your 475 Field Communicator and will void the IS
approval and the warranty.
• Protect the battery and power supply/charger from moisture, and respect operating
and storage temperature limits. See Appendix A “Reference Data” for more
information.
• Do not cover the battery or power supply/charger, subject it to prolonged periods of
direct sunlight, or place it upon or next to heat-sensitive materials.
• Do not open or modify the battery or power supply/charger. There are no
user-serviceable components or safety elements inside. Opening or modifying them
will void the warranty and could cause personal harm.
Checking the Remaining Charge
To view the remaining charge, press the Charge Indicator button on the lower left side
of the battery. See Figure 2-1 for the location of this button. When you press and
release the button, the lights above the button slowly illuminate to display the charge
remaining. Each light represents 20 percent of the charge. The battery is fully charged
when all of the lights are illuminated.
You can also check the remaining charge from the Settings menu on the Field
Communicator Main Menu. See “Power Status” on page 2-14 for more information.
