Charging the Battery
Charging the Main Battery and Memory Backup Battery
Before using the EDA for the first time, charge the main battery until the amber Charge Status LED remains lit
(see
Table 1-2 on page 1-7 for charge status indications). To charge the EDA, use a cable or a cradle with the
appropriate power supply. For information about the accessories available for the EDA, see Chapter 4,
Accessories .
The EDA is equipped with a memory backup battery which automatically charges from the fully-charged main
battery. When using the EDA for the first time, the backup battery requires approximately 24 hours to fully
charge. This is also true any time the backup battery is discharged, which occurs when the main battery is
removed for several hours. The backup battery retains RAM data in memory for at least 30 minutes (at room
temperature) when the EDA's main battery is removed. When the EDA reaches a very low battery state, the
combination of main battery and backup battery retains data in memory for at least 40 hours.
To charge batteries, use either a cable or one of the following cradles. For cradle setup and charging
procedures refer to the
MC7090CN Integrator Guide .
•
Single Slot USB/Serial Cradle
•
Four Slot Ethernet Cradle
•
Vehicle Cradle.
Snap-on accessories such as the Magnetic Stripe Reader (MSR) and the Trigger Handle provide a
pass-through port for charging.
To charge the main battery:
1.
Connect the charging accessory to the appropriate power source.
2.
Insert the EDA into a cradle or attach the cable. The EDA begins charging. The Charge LED blinks amber
while charging, then turns solid amber when fully charged. See
Table 1-2 for charging indications.
