pressing down firmly along the top edge while rotating the latches on the battery
door down into the locked position.

Caution
Do not expose the battery to temperatures in excess of 140°F (60°C). Do
not disassemble, incinerate, or short circuit the battery.
Charging the Terminal Battery

approximately four hours, using the Serial Charging Cable or any other appropriate

ARNING
Do not place your terminal into a charging device without a
main battery installed. See
Installing Batteries on page 1-8.
Your terminal is equipped with a memory backup battery which automatically charges from
the fully-charged lithium-ion battery. This backup battery retains data in memory when the
terminal’s battery is removed, and can take up to 20 hours to charge when you first use your
terminal.
Note: If you remove your lithium-ion battery before the backup battery is
fully charged, data may be lost. For this reason, DO NOT remove the
battery before the backup battery is fully charged, which can take up
to 20 hours.
