CAUTION Ensure that you follow the guidelines for battery safety described in Battery Safety Guidelines on page 7-1.
Use the mobile computer cradles, cables and spare battery chargers to charge the mobile computer main battery.
The main battery can be charged before insertion into the mobile computer or after it is installed. There are two main batteries for the MC3000, the Standard Battery and the Extended Life Battery. Either battery can be used, but the Extended Life Battery requires a different Strap/Door Assembly. Use one of the spare battery chargers to charge the main battery (out of the mobile computer) or one of the cradles to charge the main battery while it is installed in the mobile computer.
Before using the mobile computer for the first time, fully charge the main battery until the amber Charge LED Indicator remains lit (see Table 1-2 on page 1-8 for charge status indications). The Standard Battery fully charges in less than four hours and the Extended Life Battery fully charges in less than six hours.
The mobile computer is equipped with a memory backup battery which automatically charges from the main battery whether or not the mobile computer is operating or is in suspend mode. The memory backup battery retains data in memory for at least 30 minutes when the mobile computer’s main battery is removed or fully discharged. When the mobile computer is used for the first time or after the memory backup battery has fully discharged, the memory backup battery requires approximately 15 hours to fully charge. Do not remove the main battery from the mobile computer for 15 hours to ensure that the memory backup battery fully charges. If the main battery is
1 - 8 MC3000 User Guide
removed from the mobile computer or the main battery is fully discharged, the memory backup battery completely discharges in several hours.
When the main battery reaches a very low battery state, the combination of main battery and backup battery retains data in memory for at least 72 hours.
NOTE Do not remove the main battery within the first 15 hours of use. If the main battery is removed before the backup battery is fully charged, data may be lost.
Batteries must be charged within the 32° to 104° F (0° to +40° C) ambient temperature range.
The following accessories can be used to charge batteries:
•Cradles (and a power supply):
•Single Slot Serial/USB Cradle
•Four Slot Cradles.
•Cables (and a power supply):
•USB Client Charge Cable
•Serial (RS232) Charge Cable.
•Spare Battery Chargers (and a power supply):
•Single Slot Serial/USB Cradle
•Four Slot Spare Battery Charger
•Universal Battery Charger (UBC) Adapter.
To charge the mobile computer using the cradles:
1.Insert the mobile computer into a cradle. See Chapter 4, Accessories for accessory setup.
2.The mobile computer starts to charge automatically. The amber Charge LED Indicator indicates the charge status. See Table 1-2 on page 1-8 for charging indications.
To charge the mobile computer using the cables:
1.Connect the MC3000 Communication/Charge Cable to the appropriate power source and connect to the mobile computer. See Chapter 4, Accessories for accessory setup.
