Operating temperatures
TaskBook is designed to work in ambient temperatures between
-20° and 50° C (-4° and 122° F). TaskBook can be damaged and
battery life shortened if stored or operated outside of these
temperature ranges. Avoid exposing TaskBook to dramatic changes
in temperature or humidity. When you’re using TaskBook or
charging the battery, it is normal for TaskBook to get warm.
To maximize battery life at high temperatures, we suggest to lower
the brightness level and to enable power-save mode on the control
panel. High ambient temperatures might decrease performance
capacity.

Technical Data
Restrict the use of TaskBook if its surface is covered with ice or frost.
To ensure a reliable operation at low temperature, Datalogic
recommends to turn on the device and to carry out the bootstrap
when the device temperature is over 0°C.
To maximize the operating temperature range, Datalogic
recommends to keep the display brightness at maximum level only
for a short time.

CFast Slot
SDHC Slot
USB-C Connection
The TaskBook has a USB-C interface. This port can be used to charge
the TaskBook’s internal battery. The USB-C connection is found on
the lower surface of the TaskBook and is protected by a dust cover.
CFast Slot
Behind the CFast cap there is a CFast card (Windows 10). In order to
eliminate the CFast-cap, both Tx8 screws must be released.
The CFast card is held with a label, which helps it move away from
the slot.
A free slot for additional SD cards (SDHC or SDXC) is also available in
this area. Once an SD card is inserted, lightly press on the cart itself
User’s Manual 13
TaskBook Interfaces
to release it. The SD cards are then released and can be slightly
pulled out of place from the slot.
Just above the CFast, a small black switch controls the power supply
chain to all the motherboards. Slide the switch to the left position to
disconnect the internal battery. Use this switch only when you want
to perform a hard hardware reset and avoid any further use. A wrong
setting of this switch will prevent the TaskBook from booting.
14 TaskBook
Charging Internal Power Pack
USB-C Connection
USB-C Interface
In order to be able to charge the device using the USB-C connection,
the power supply has to support the USB-C Power Delivery (PD)
specifications of a minimum of 9 V (max. 20 V) and 3 A. The
accessory 94ACC0228 complies with these requirements.
The TaskBook can be charged via the USB-C
interface. As soon as the charger is
connected, a charging symbol appears in the
upper right corner of the screen. Additionally,
the charge LED on the buttons bar will light up red.
User’s Manual 15
Charging Internal Power Pack
Docking station (AC or DC)
You can charge the TaskBook by inserting it in a Docking Station (PN
from 94ACC0214 to 94ACC0225) connected to the power line/ vehicle
battery. To insert the TaskBook in the Docking station, rest the
buttons bar side on the docking station and hinge it down with a
rolling movement.
As soon as the docking station is connected, a
charging symbol will appear in the upper right
corner of the screen. Additionally, the charge
LED on the sensor bar will light up red.
Handgrip
You can charge the TaskBook by using the detachable handgrip (PN
from 94ACC0211 to 94ACC0213) containing a charged battery. Rest
the buttons bar side on the handgrip and hinge it down with a rolling
movement until it clicks.
16 TaskBook
Charging Internal Power Pack
An additional power pack symbol will
appear in the upper right corner of the
screen. When connected through the
handgrip, the internal power pack is
charged by the handgrip's external power
pack. In addition, “Charge” LED on the sensor bar will start to light
up red and the “EXT BAT” LED will light up green, provided the
external power pack has sufficient capacity. When the internal
battery is fully charged the “Charge-LED” is switched off while the
“INT BAT” and “EXT BAT” green leds are both light up.
The internal power pack is charged until it has reached
approximately the same level of power as the external power pack.
For full charging of the internal power pack, the use of either the
docking station or a compatible USB-C PD power supply is
recommended.

Status LEDs
The sensor bar has 5 status LEDs.
CHARGE - LED
Charge – LED lights up solid red when the internal battery is
charging. If it blinks, the internal battery is faulty and must be
checked.
INT BAT – LED
The INT BAT – LED provides information about the status of the
internal rod battery. If the charge level is between 100% and 30%, the
LED lights up solid green. If the capacity of the power pack falls below
30%, the LED blinks green.
EXT BAT – LED
The EXT BAT LED lights up solid green as soon as an external power
source is connected. External power sources include the docking
station, the USB-C charger and the handgrip power pack. The LED on
the handgrip battery pack starts blinking as soon as the battery
capacity drops below 30%. The INT BAT – LED and EXT BAT – LED don't
necessarily blink simultaneously.
TEMP – LED
If the temperature of the TaskBook falls below the minimum rated
specification or exceeds the maximum rated specification, the
TaskBook will automatically switch off to protect itself from damage.
In this case, the Temp – LED lights up red and will only stop when the
internal temperature has returned to normal. If the Temp – LED is lit
up, the TaskBook cannot be switched on.
STATUS – LED
The Status – LED indicates whether the device is switched on or not.
It also blinks green when the screen blanking is active. The screen
