Lithium-ion batteries benefit from an initial 'conditioning'. For the first 3 charge
cycles, fully charge the main battery for at least 12 to 24 hours. Then allow it to fully
discharge before recharging it again.
After a prolonged storage period the main battery may again require three to four
charge/discharge cycles to achieve maximum capacity.
Power is not required to transfer data to the Host PC using the serial cable, but is
required when using the dock. Use the Power Adaptor if the battery is discharged.
While the PT40 is recharging, the LED on the front of the PDT is red. When the battery
is fully charged, the LED changes from red to green.
