Charging the MC9500-K
The MC9500-K is equipped with a memory backup battery which automatically charges from the fully-charged
main battery. When using the MC9500-K for the first time, the backup battery requires approximately 36 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 15 minutes (at room
temperature) when the MC9500-K's main battery is removed. When the MC9500-K reaches a very low battery
state, the combination of main battery and backup battery retains RAM data in memory for at least 36 hours.
To charge the battery, use either a cradle or charging cable. For cable and cradle setup and charging procedures
refer to the
MC9500-K Mobile Computer Integrator Guide
.
To charge the battery:
1.
Connect the charging accessory to the appropriate power source. See
MC9500-K Series Mobile Computer
Integrator Guide
for setup information.
2.
Align and hook the MC9500-K interface pocket onto the cradle’s or cable’s cleat. The MC9500-K begins
charging. The Charging/Battery Status LED blinks while charging, then turns solid when fully charged (LED
color depends upon health of the battery). See
Table 2-6
for charging indications. The 4800 mAh battery fully
charges in less than six hours.
