Product Assembly

Unpacking and Installation

Read the following information before unpacking or assembling the CR7018 and its accessories.

Inserting iPhone

The CR7018 houses Apple’s iPhone 7 and 8 models. Please note that the top plate will vary
depending on the iPhone model.

The CR7018 case will arrive with the top and bottom carriage connected. With a thumb on
the right and left side of the speaker opening, push up approximately 5 millimeters to clear
the lightning connector.

5

Pull the top plate toward you, away from the bottom carriage. Do NOT try to slide it all the
way up.

Before inserting the iPhone, thoroughly clean the iPhone screen and both sides of the glass
screen protector. Screen responsiveness will be hindered if the screens are dirty.

Insert the iPhone into the top plate; it will click into place.

6

Replace the top plate into the bottom carriage directly above the lightning connector, similar
to the removal process; the top plate will be inserted approximately 5 millimeters from the
edge of the bottom carriage. Push down on the top plate to secure the iPhone onto the
lightning connector and seal the case.

Do NOT try to slide it down from the top.

Your CR7018 case will come with two screws and a 1.3 mm hex key. For larger
deployments, it is recommended to procure a specialized tool for quick assembly.

Insert the screws to secure phone and case.
The following URLs will direct you to
recommended tools for installing the provided
screws.

Inserting/Removing Batteries

Only Code’s CRA-B718 batteries are compatible with the CR7018 case. Insert a B718
battery into the cavity; it will click into place.

The fuel gauge LEDs will light up, indicating the battery’s state of charge. If the LEDs do not
light up, fully charge the battery before using.

To verify the battery is properly connected, a lightning bolt will be
located on iPhone’s battery, signifying a charge status and successful
battery installation. To remove the battery, push both battery
compartment latches inward until the battery pops out. Pull the battery
from the cavity.

Charger Assembly and Mounting

The CR7018 chargers are designed to charge the B718 batteries. Customers can purchase
5 or 10-bay chargers. Two 5-bay chargers are mechanically interlinked to create the 10-bay
charger. 5 and 10-bay chargers use the same power supply (CRA-P71), but have different
cables: the 5-bay charger has a single, linear cable where the 10-bay charger requires a

8

two-way splitter cable. Charging stations can be mounted on a vertical mount accessory or to
the wall, which can be seen in the sections below.

Note: Use only cables supplied by Code to ensure proper communication and adequate
charge rates. Only Code cables are guaranteed to work. Damage caused using third-party
cables will not be covered under warranty.

5-Bay Charger Installation

The 5-bay charging station will hold and charge 5 batteries from zero to full charge within 3
hours. The CRA-A172 charger kit comes with a 5-bay charger, cable and power supply.
Insert the cable into the female port on the bottom-side of the charger. Route the cable
through the grooves and connect it to the power supply.

LED charge indicators reside on both sides of each battery bay to quickly check the charge
status from any angle.

Note: There is a delay of up to thirty minutes between the battery gauge indicating it’s fully
charged and the charger LEDs switching from blinking to solid. LED indicator definitions are
presented in the “Inserting Batteries into the Charger” section.

9

10-Bay Charger Installation

The 10-bay charging station will hold and charge 10 batteries from zero to full within five
hours. The CRA-A175 charger kit will come with two 5-bay chargers, a splitter cable adapter
and power supply.

Interlink the two, 5-bay chargers by sliding one into the other.

The split cable adapter will have one longer end. Insert
the longer end of the cable into the charger’s female
port furthest from the power supply. Route the cable
through the groove on the bottom side of the charger.

Inserting Batteries into the Charger

The B718 batteries can only be inserted one direction. Ensure the metal contacts on the
battery meet with the metal contacts within the charger.

LED indicators and meaning:

1. Blinking – battery is charging

2. Solid – battery is fully charged

3. Colorless – there is no battery present or, if a battery is inserted, a fault may have

occurred. If a battery is securely inserted into the charger, and the LEDs do not light
up, try reinserting the battery or insert it into a different bay to verify if the issue
resides with the battery or the charger bay.

Note: The charger LEDs may take up to 5 seconds to respond after inserting a battery.

Vertical Mount

The 5 or 10-bay charging stations can be used in conjunction with the vertical mount
accessory. The vertical mount accessory uses the same mechanical interlinking system as
the 5 and 10-bay chargers. Simply slide the chargers into the vertical mount to secure. To
see how this is done, watch the CR7018 Completely Sealed Battery Backup Case for

Healthcare video.

Wall Mount

The charging stations maintain mounting slots on the bottom of the unit. These slots will
allow any #6 or M3 screw with a head diameter less than
9 mm and head height less than 2.5 mm.

Code does not provide these tools. The following URLs
will direct you to options suitable for mounting the 5 and
10-bay chargers to the wall.

Battery Charging and Best Practices

It is recommended to fully charge each new
battery before the first use even though a new
battery may have residual power upon
receiving.

Battery Charging

Place the B718 battery into the charging
station.

The battery can also be charged within the
CR7018 case via Code’s micro-USB cable
(CRA-C34). The case will charge faster if the
USB cable is plugged into Code’s USB wall
adapter (CRA-P4). Ensure the USB adapter is
securely fit into an electrical outlet. It will take
approximately 3 hours to fully charge using
this method.

The battery fuel gauge LEDs will light up, indicating the battery’s state of charge. The table
below presents the charge definition per LED. The LEDs will turn off after approximately 15
minutes once the battery is fully charged.

1% - 10% charge

>19% - 39% charge

>39% - 69% charge

>69% - 99% charge

12

Note: If the battery gets extremely low on power, it will enter shutdown mode. The fuel
gauge will shut off in this mode. The battery must charge up to 30 minutes before the fuel
gauge will reestablish communication.

Battery Best Practices

To efficiently use the CR7018 case and battery, the iPhone should be kept at or near full
charge. The B718 battery should be used for power draw and swapped when nearly
depleted.

Allowing the iPhone to deplete burdens the system. The case is designed to keep the iPhone
charged. Placing a fully-charged B718 battery into a case with a half or nearly dead iPhone
makes the battery work overtime, creating heat and draining power from the B718 battery
rapidly. If the iPhone is kept nearly full, the B718 slowly delivers current to the iPhone
allowing the system to last longer.

The B718 battery will last approximately 6 hours under high-power consumption workflows.
Take note that the amount of power draw depends upon the applications being actively used
or open in the background. For maximum battery usage, exit unneeded applications and dim
the screen to approximately 75%.

For long-term storage or shipping, remove the battery from the case.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Approved Disinfectants

Please review the approved disinfectants.

Routine Cleaning and Disinfection

The iPhone screen and screen protector should be kept clean to maintain device
responsiveness. Thoroughly clean the iPhone screen and both sides of the CR7018 screen
protector before installing the iPhone and as they get dirty.

Approved medical disinfectants can be used to clean the CR7018. Do not submerge the
CR7018 case in any liquid or cleaner. Simply wipe it with the approved cleaners and allow it
to air dry.

Troubleshooting

If the case isn’t communicating to the phone, restart the phone, remove and reinsert the

battery and/or remove the phone from the case and reinsert it.

If the battery gauge does not respond, the battery may be in shutdown mode due to low
power. Charge the case or battery for approximately 30 minutes; then check if the gauge
establishes LED feedback.
