Power Supply

The Data Collector has both a main power supply (two AA (LR6)-size alkaline batteries or a lithium-ion battery pack) and a backup power supply (lithium battery). In this manual, the words main batteries refer to both alkaline batteries and the lithium-ion battery pack. Low main battery power is indicated when the low voltage message appears on the LCD screen. Replace the main batteries or charge the battery pack as soon as possible after the low voltage message appears.
Important! • Never remove both the main batteries and backup battery at the same
time. Doing so causes all programs and data in Data Collector memory to be lost.
Never remove the main batteries from the Data Collector while power it turned on. Doing so can cause data stored in memory to be deleted. Be sure to turn the Data Collector off before removing batteries.
Use only AA (LR6)-size alkaline batteries or the specified lithium-ion battery pack specified for the DT-810.
The lithium-ion battery pack discharges naturally during the time it takes for it to get from the factory to you. Make sure to charge the battery pack before using it for the first time.
Never allow the terminals of the lithium-ion battery to become shorted. Doing so creates the danger of malfunction. Be sure to keep the battery pack in its special case when transporting or storing it.
Repeat charging of the lithium-ion battery pack gradually shortens its ability to recharge. If you find that a fully charged battery pack provides only little operation time, it probably means you need a new battery pack.
Whenever you do not plan to use the Data Collector for a long time, load two new alkaline batteries or a fully charged battery pack into the Data Collector to protect against power failure during non-use. Also, load new batteries or a fully charged battery pack before using the Data Collector after a long period of non-use.

Important! If the charge indicator starts to flash red during charging, remove the
battery pack and then reattach it. If this does not solve the problem, it means that the battery pack is defective and needs to be replaced.
Use only the specified battery pack.
Battery packs naturally discharge even when they are not loaded in
the Data Collector. Use a battery pack as soon as possible after charging it.
The allowable battery pack charging temperature range is 0°C to 40°C.
Outside this range, charging can result in battery fluid leakage and generation of heat. It can also cause deterioration of battery pack performance and shorten battery pack life.
For best charging results, keep the Optical Communication Unit, Data Collector and battery pack contacts clean by periodically wiping them off with a cotton swab or dry cloth.
