Charging the Battery Pack
The AC adaptor is used not only to supply power from the AC power
outlet but also to charge the battery pack. The battery pack is also
charged while Rugged PDA is in use (power is on) if the AC adaptor
(provided) is connected with the battery pack inserted in the Rugged
PDA unit.
Important
•
Charge the battery in a location where the temperature is
between 5
℃
to 35
℃
. Charging the battery in an extremely
cold location or in direct sunlight causes the battery to dete-
riorate or to leak fluid.
•
If the battery is correctly charged, but the Rugged PDA oper-
ates for only a short time, the battery pack may have reached
the end of its service life. If this happens, you need to buy a
new battery pack.
•
The battery pack may become warm while it is being charged
or being used. This is normal for the battery pack and is not a
malfunction.
N o t e
The internal backup battery and the battery pack (main bat-
tery) have absolutely no charge at time of purchase. Fully charge
the batteries before using the Rugged PDA for the first time.
