Lithium-ion Battery Pack
Each lithium-ion battery pack has its life. The life span heavily depends on how the battery pack is charged or stored which may cause deterioration of the battery pack
to shorten the life span if it is handled improperly. Note the tips below to make the battery pack last long.
— Be sure to charge the battery pack before using it if the battery pack is used for the
rst time or if it has not been used for a long period of time.
— If the battery pack is repeatedly charged, the life span becomes short. To avoid the
repetition of charging the battery pack, be sure that the remaining capacity is low before you start charging.
— Be sure to charge the battery pack in recommended temperature range. The
temperature range is dependant on device you use to charge including battery chargers and Handheld Terminals. Refer to the respective user guides. Charging the battery pack in a temperature outside of the recommended range causes deterioration.
— When used at low temperatures, the battery pack has a reduced capacity and will
supply power for shorter time. The life span of the battery pack is also shortened.
— Charging the battery pack while the battery pack itself is freeze including inside
causes deterioration. Be sure to resume an ordinary room temperature on the battery pack and then leave it unattended for approximately one hour before charging.
— After charging the battery pack, if the performance of the battery pack does not
show any recovery, it is a sign of ending the life. Replace it with a new battery pack.
— Avoid the battery pack with a full of the capacity to store for a long period of
time. If you need to store it for a long period, be sure that the remaining capacity is 30 to 50 percent and to store in a moderate low temperature. This can reduce deterioration.
— The battery pack gradually deteriorates over time. In particular, storing (or using)
the fully charged battery pack at high temperatures tends to accelerate battery pack deterioration.

Loading and Removing the Battery Pack
Your Handheld Terminal uses two types of battery: a battery pack and a memory backup battery. The battery pack is used to power normal operations and to store data, while the memory backup battery provides the power required to maintain memory contents when the battery pack power is unable to supply power for some reason.
Use the battery pack (HA-K23XLBAT) as the main power source. The backup battery is installed inside of the Handheld Terminal.
This guide uses the following terms to refer to the batteries.
Battery Pack: Rechargeable battery pack (HA-K23XLBAT) for normal operations
and data storage
Backup Battery: Built-in battery for memory backup When the battery pack power goes low, immediately charge it or replace it with a
charged battery pack. You can use the USB Cradle, the Ethernet Cradle, the USB and Charging Unit, the Dual Battery Charger or the Cradle-type Dual Battery Charger to charge a battery pack installed in the terminal. See the relevant sections in this guide for the respective options about how to use.
Important!
Always keep backup of all important data!
The battery pack powers normal operation and also provides power required to
maintain memory contents, while the backup battery provides backup power to maintain memory contents. Because of this, you should not remove the battery pack if the backup battery is dead. Removing the battery pack while the backup battery is dead causes data in the memory to be corrupted or lost. Note that once data is lost it cannot be recovered. Always keep backup of all important data.
The charge of a battery pack when you purchase it may be depleted due to
testing at the factory or natural discharge during shipment and storage. Be sure to charge the battery pack before you use it.
The life of a battery pack is limited, and charging a battery pack causes it to
gradually lose its ability to maintain the charge. If your battery pack seems to require charging very frequently, it probably means it is time to purchase a new one.
If a battery pack is used past the end of its service life, it may swell up in size. In
such a case, replace the battery pack with a new one. If the backup battery is fully charged, it will maintain the contents of the
terminal’s memory (RAM) for approximately 10 minutes when the main battery pack is removed.
It takes 4 days with the main battery pack installed in the terminal for the
backup battery to be charged fully.

Important!
When removing the battery pack, make sure you do not leave the Handheld
Terminal without a battery pack for more than about 10 minutes. Doing so can cause data in the memory to be deleted.
When removing the battery pack, be sure you carefully follow the proper
procedure as explained in this guide. Never try to use other type of battery than the ones that are specifi ed for this
product. When removing the battery pack, pull the removal tape straight up and remove
the battery pack. Removing with excessive force can damage the battery pack. Before starting to use the Handheld Terminal, ensure that the battery pack cover
is properly closed. If not, the power is not turned on or is turned off abruptly while it is in use.
When the hand belt is attached to the terminal, loosen the hand belt before
opening or closing the battery pack cover. Pulling with excessive force could damage the hand belt or hand belt mount.
