Charging the Encompass 1d Handheld Reader
Before you can use the Encompass 1d Handheld Reader, you must charge its
battery. The charging process takes approximately 5 hours. There are two ways to
charge the battery:
Plug the modular charger directly into the Encompass 1d Handheld
Reader
Place the handheld reader in the Ethernet office cradle and plug the
cradle into a power outlet
Note: To preserve battery integrity, recharging must only take place
when the battery is at a temperature between 41°F (5°C) to 113°F
(45°C). The battery status indicator glows yellow if the battery is too
hot or too cold to be charged and the charging system is disabled.
