Battery Charging and Operating Power
The communication/charge cables can charge the EDA battery and supply operating power.
To charge the EDA battery:
1.
Connect the communication/charge cable power input connector to the approved power source.
2.
Slide the bottom of the EDA into the connector end of the communication/charge cable and gently press in
until it latches into the EDA. The EDA amber Charge LED indicates the EDA battery charging status. The
standard battery charges in less than four hours and the extended capacity battery charges in less than six
hours. See
Table 1-2 on page 1-7 for charging status indications.
3.
When charging is complete, remove the cable by gently pulling the EDA and the cable apart.
LED Charge Indications
The amber Charge LED on the EDA indicates battery charging status. See Table 1-2 on page 1-7 for charging
status indications.
Charging Temperature
Charge batteries in temperatures from 0
o
C to 40
o
C (32°F to 104°F). Note that at temperatures above 35
o
C,
charging is intelligently controlled by the EDA and the charging accessory in order to ensure safe operation
and optimize long-term battery life.
To accomplish this, for small periods of time, the EDA or accessory alternately enables and disables battery
charging to keep the battery at acceptable temperatures. The EDA or accessory indicates when charging is
disabled due to abnormal temperatures via its LED. See
Table 1-2 on page 1-7 .
