CHAPTER TWO – GETTING STARTED

PL3000 is being charged
When the PL3000 is docked in the desktop charger
and a charging / low-power indicator shines red light,
the battery is being charged. When about 90% of the
battery’s total capacity is charged the indicator turns
yellow, you may also refer to it as apricot (yellowish-
orange) or as amber (yellowish-brown); be that as it
may, charging continues until the indicator goes green
(or yellowish-green) indicating that the battery is fully charged. After that the
indicator is not a sign of charging but yellowish-green indicates only that the
PL3000 is on AC power. For further information on the charging / low-power
indicator, see the section ‘Charging / Low-battery Indicator’ (on page 45).
If there is no discernible enough difference between yellow and green light
indication, you can also find charging indication on a taskbar, see below (for more
information about the taskbar, see the section ‘Taskbar’ on page 16)
Charging annunciator icon on taskbar
Windows CE system also indicates battery charging on the taskbar in
its shell. A charging icon is shown on the taskbar until the PL3000 stops
charging. After that the battery is fully charged and Windows CE replaces the
charging icon with an on-AC-power icon.
On-AC-power annunciator icon on taskbar
The on-AC-power icon on the taskbar indicates that the PL3000 is
connected to AC power, meaning that the battery is not being charged,
nor is the PL3000 being powered by the battery.
