Installing and Operating the Tablet and Base Station E-Series 3-21
Figure 3-21 Installing the Tablet in Base Station – Securing the Tablet
After installation, the following occurs:

The Base Station E-Series MCU detects the installation, wakes up, and then
enables all power supplies. It can take up to 30 seconds to enumerate and
initialize all Tablet E-Series 11 USB and Serial Ports.

The Power LED turns green to indicate that the Base Station has powered up.

The Battery LED remains off if the optional Smart Battery is not installed. If the
optional battery is installed the Battery LED displays the charge status.

When the Tablet E-Series 11 is removed from the Base Station, it returns to the
sleep mode after 30 seconds and the Power LED turns off.

If the optional smart battery is charging, it will continue to charge until full as
indicated by the Battery LED. After a full charge occurs, the Base Station E-Series
enters sleep mode and turns off the Battery LED.
Base Station E-Series Battery Pack Storage Considerations
The optional Lithium-Ion Smart Battery pack capacity will degrade over time. The
mechanisms for capacity loss do not require the battery to be charged or discharged; a
capacity decrease can also occur during storage.
In general, capacity loss during storage can be minimized by storing the battery pack at
room temperature or less.
In all cases, the battery pack should be removed from the Base Station and stored in an
environment with low humidity and free from corrosive gases.

If storing the battery pack for less than 30 days, the ideal temperature is between
-10°C (14°F) and 20°C (68°F).

If storing the battery pack for less than one year, the ideal temperature is
-5°C (23°F) and 20°C (68°F).

When removed from the Base Station and stored at 20°C (68°F) or less, the battery
pack should have a minimum shelf life of six months. Should the storage
temperature exceed 20°C (68°F) over a six month period, the shelf life can be
reduced and we recommend that the battery pack be recharged every sixty days.

Avoid storing the battery pack for extended periods of time when the
temperatures are greater than 45°C (113°F). If the battery is stored at temperatures
exceeding 45°C (113°F) for six months, capacity loss can be as great as 10%.
