Indicators
The front-mounted LED on the desktop docking station indicates the spare battery charge status. The LED
on the Omnii is active even when the hand-held is inserted in a docking station (and in suspend mode) so
that the charge status of the battery can be detected easily.

Operation
5.5.3.1
Charging the Omnii Battery
The desktop docking station supplies DC power to enable the Omnii internal fast charger.
When installed in the dock, the Omnii battery charge LED will illuminate to indicate the unit has external
power and can charge the internal battery. The Omnii charge indication follows the same convention as the
charger's spare battery indicator (Figure 5.9 on page 142).
5.5.3.2
Charging the Spare Battery
•
Install the battery in the battery charging bay (rear slot of the desktop docking station). Place the
battery contacts down to mate with the connector, and pivot the battery into place in the battery
charging bay.
•
The desktop docking station spare battery LED lights up immediately. During charge the LED will be
flashing green.
•
When the battery has finished charging, the LED turns solid green.
•
The charge stops when the battery is fully charged and the LED remains green.
A full charge will take 3 to 4 hours for a 5000 mAh battery. This may take up to 8 hours if the hand-held is
also docked and charging.
5.5.4
Cleaning the Desktop Docking Station
•
Use only mild detergent or soapy water on a slightly damp cloth to clean the desktop docking station.
Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents or strong chemicals for cleaning. The plastic case is susceptible to
harsh chemicals. The plastic is partially soluble in oils, mineral spirits and gasoline. The plastic slowly
decomposes in strong alkaline solutions.

unit clean.
