The battery pack in the Falcon is a 3.7 V, 2000
mAh Lithium Ion battery pack. You will be
alerted with a message dialog box when the battery pack reaches a low state.
After charging the first time, a complete charge
takes about four (4) hours depending on the bat-

tery pack’s state and the recharging method. A sample battery pack label is
shown at the right.
You must charge the battery pack and backup battery in a dock or with a power
cable prior to your first use of the Falcon. The initial charge time is approximately
24 hours.
If you remove the battery pack or it fails, there is a 30 minute window in which to
insert a charged battery pack before the backup battery fails. If your backup battery fails, the contents of the RAM memory will be lost. If your back-up battery is
less than fully charged, there is a proportionally smaller window of time available.
Usage time will be reduced, also.
Always charge the battery pack within the temperature range of 32°–113°F (0°–
45°C).
Lithium-ion battery packs may get hot, explode, ignite, or/and cause serious injury if
exposed to abusive conditions.
• Do not place the battery in or near fire, direct sunlight, or other high temperature locations, or heat the battery.
• Do not install the battery backwards so the polarity is reversed.
• Do not connect the positive terminal and negative terminal of the battery to
each other with any metal object (such as wire or coin).
• Do not expose the battery to liquids, or allow the battery to get wet.
• Do not disassemble, modify, or pierce the battery. The battery contains safety
and protection devices, which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate
heat, explode or ignite.
In the event the battery leaks and the fluid gets into your eye, do not rub the eye.
Rinse well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left untreated, the battery
fluid could cause damage to the eye.
Datalogic recommends annual replacement of rechargeable battery packs to
ensure maximum performance.
Power Supply
Use only the authorized power supplies, battery packs, chargers, and docks
supplied by your Datalogic reseller. The use of any other power supplies can
damage the Falcon and void your warranty.
Quick Reference Guide 9
Getting Started
Models require either a Listed class II or class III with a Limited Power Source
(LPS). For the safety certification to be valid, class III input power sources
must be IEC/EN60950-1 (EN 60335-series, EN 60065 or relevant) approved.

Charging with the Dock
There are two models of docks for the Falcon: a Single-Slot Dock and a FourSlot Dock. On both models, an external power supply (AC adaptor) provides
power to the dock. Falcons communicate with the host PC using Microsoft
ActiveSync protocol either via a USB port or via a serial port.
14 Falcon® 4400 Series with Windows® CE
There are two methods for charging a battery pack using a Single-Slot Dock.
Refer to Table 3 on page 13 to view methods of battery pack charging using
the dock, charge duration, dock status indicators and their purpose. For more
information on the dock, refer to the Dock Operating Instructions that come
with each dock.
Use only the correct battery chargers and docks with this Windows CE color Falcon. This technology used for these models is incompatible with other Datalogic
Mobile Falcon chargers and docks, including the Falcon 4410/4420 monochrome

The 3V Lithium Backup Battery receives its charge from the Battery Pack. To
retain date, time, data, and other settings for the Falcon, maintain at least a
minimal charge on the Battery Pack.
When the backup battery is low, an icon will display on the status bar (see
Tab le 2 o n p age 12), and a dialog box will open to alert you.
Battery discharge characteristics vary from eight to nine and a half (8-9.5)
hours, depending upon device usage, number of scans per minute, backlight
usage, and other factors that draw upon battery power.
Setting Up the Mobile Computer
Follow the on-screen directions to calibrate the touchscreen.

Using the Stylus
Never use a pen, pencil, or other sharp object on the Falcon’s touchscreen display. Use only the supplied stylus or plastic-tipped pens intended for use with a
touch-sensitive display. Contact your reseller to replace a missing stylus; refer to
the Datalogic Mobile website listed on the back cover of this manual.
The stylus is located next to the scanning pod as illustrated in Figure 10. The
stylus on the Falcon is the equivalent of the mouse on a PC. Use the stylus to:
• Navigate the touchscreen display.
• Select characters in the soft input panel (SIP).
• Select applications from the desktop or system tray.
• Select tabs, fields and text within applications and dialog boxes.
