2 Getting started
2.1 Battery
The handhelds are powered by a rechargeable lithium-polymer battery.
Charge the battery for 16 hours without any interruption before using it for the first time.
Do not charge the handheld overnight in the car at minus temperatures,
this would damage the battery. Also, do not leave any handheld with 25%
or less battery charge in the car overnight at minus temperatures, this
would make the battery
to go flat quicker than normal or lead to a total discharge of the battery.
Installing the battery
Unscrew the 4 screws of the battery case and remove the battery cover.
Make sure that the 4 contacts of the battery and battery case face each other and insert the
battery.
Screw the battery cover back again.
Charging the battery
The lithium-polymer battery is the main power supply of the handheld and provides power
for normal operations and memory backup. Any battery, so also the one from t+t netcom,
will provide full capacity after minimum 4 to 5 charge/discharge cycles.
A handheld with a battery almost empty (25% or less) should not be left over the weekend
in this condition.This may cause loss of data in the memory.
Be sure that the battery is inside. Plug in the connector of the synchronization cable to the
handheld (picture 3). Be sure to hold it by the top and the bottom (picture 4). Slightly pull on
the connector to check if it is correctly fixed.
Connect the cable of the power supply to the corresponding connector of the
synchronization cable (picture 5).
Connect the line cord to the power supply. Plug in the line cord to the power outlet. The
battery is now being charged and the red light is on (picture 6-A). As soon as the battery
has been fully charged (the green light is on - picture 6-B), remove the power supply from
the power outlet and the synchronization cable. Remove the connector from the handheld
by pressing both sides simultaneously (picture 7).
