2 BATTERIES AND MAINTENANCE
Rechargeable backup batteries and battery packs are not
initially charged. Therefore the initial operation to perform is
to charge them. See below.
NOTE
By default, the battery pack is disconnected at the factory to
avoid damage due to excessive draining.
Annual replacement of rechargeable battery pack avoids
possible risks or abnormalities and ensures maximum
CAUTION
2.1 CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
NOTE
The battery icon on the Taskbar indicates when the battery pack is low.
It is possible to recharge the battery pack by connecting the power supply
directly to the Elf.
Alternatively, it is also possible to recharge the battery pack by using the single
slot dock, the powered mobile dock, the Ethernet four slot dock or the four slot
battery charger.
Moreover recharging is possible by USB Direct connection with the host
computer, but with longer charging times and only if the mobile computer is off.
During the charging process the LED positioned at the left side of the display is
red constant. Once the charging process has been completed this LED is green
constant (see par. 4.5).
If the battery pack is removed from the mobile computer, it can be recharged by
inserting it into the rear slot of the single slot dock, the powered mobile dock,
the Ethernet four slot dock or the four slot battery charger.

The battery pack autonomy varies according to many factors,
such as the frequency of barcode scanning, RF usage, battery
life, storage, environmental conditions, etc.
Do not use the Elf until batteries are charged for minimum 4
hours.

instructions.
Even if the storage temperature range is wider, In order to
achieve the longest battery life, store the terminal and the
spare batteries between 20 to 30 ºC (68 to 86 ºF).
Large batteries must be charged at a temperature ranging
from 0° to +40 °C (+32° to +104 °F).
Small batteries must be charged at a temperature ranging
from 0° to +45 °C (+32° to +113 °F).
The battery level may not be displayed correctly for some
minutes after the disconnection if the Elf is disconnected

2.2 REPLACING THE BATTERY PACK
To correctly replace the battery pack, proceed as follows.
1. Turn off the Elf.
2. Pull the battery latch down as indicated in the figure below:

BATTERIES AND MAINTENANCE
Installing, charging and/or any other action should be done by
authorized personnel and following this manual.
The battery pack may get hot, explode, ignite, and/or cause
WARNING
serious injury if exposed to abusive conditions.
If the battery pack is replaced with an improper type, there is risk
of explosion.
Do not place the battery pack in or near a fire or heat; do not
place the battery pack in direct sunlight, or use or store the
battery pack inside unventilated areas in hot weather; do not
place the battery pack in microwave ovens, dryer, high pressure
containers, on induction cookware or similar device. Doing so
may cause the battery pack to generate heat, explode or ignite.
Using the battery pack in this manner may also result in a loss of
performance and a shortened life expectancy.
Use only a Datalogic Mobile approved power supply. The use of
an alternative power supply will void the product warranty, may
cause product damage and may cause heat, explode or ignite.
The area in which the units are charged should be clear of debris
and combustible materials or chemicals.
Do not use the battery pack of this terminal for power devices
different from this mobile computer.
Immediately discontinue use of the battery pack if, while using,
charging or storing the battery pack, the battery pack emits an
unusual smell, feels hot, changes colour or shape, or appears
abnormal in any other way.
Do not short-circuit the battery pack contacts connecting the
positive terminal and negative terminal. This might happen, for
example, when you carry a spare battery pack in your pocket
or purse; accidental short–circuiting can occur when a metallic
object such as a coin, clip, or pen causes direct connection of
the contacts of the battery pack (these look like metal strips on
the battery pack). Short–circuiting the terminals may damage
the battery pack or the connecting object

WARNING
NOTE
Do not apply voltages to the battery pack contacts.
Do not pierce the battery pack with nails, strike it with a hammer,
step on it or otherwise subject it to strong impacts or shocks.
Do not disassemble or modify (i.e. bend, crush or deform) the
battery pack. The battery pack contains safety and protection
devices, which, if damaged, may cause the battery pack to
generate heat, explode or ignite.
In case of leakage of liquid from the battery, avoid contact with
liquid the skin or eyes. If the contact occurs, immediately wash
the affected area with water and consult a doctor.
Do not solder directly onto the battery pack.
Do not expose the battery pack to liquids.
Avoid any knocks or excessive vibrations. If the device or the
battery is dropped, especially on a hard surface, you should take
it to the nearest Authorised Repair Centre for inspection before
continuing to use it.
Do not replace the battery pack when the device is turned on.
Do not remove or damage the battery pack’s label.
Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any part.
Battery pack usage by children should be supervised.
Collect and recycle waste batteries separately from the device
in comply with European Directive 2006/66/EC, 2002/95/EC,
2002/96/EC and subsequent modifications, US and China
regulatory and others laws and regulations about environment.
In order to guarantee an adequate operating autonomy,
when replacing the battery pack the mobile computer
checks the battery energy level. If the battery is not
sufficiently charged, Elf does not turn on (when pressing the
ON/OFF key).
In this case, either substitute the battery pack with a
charged one (sufficiently charged) or insert Elf into a
powered cradle or plug it into the direct power supply.

for radio configuration: http://www.summitdatacom.com/SCU.htm.
To launch this utility you can tap the specific icon if it's visible on the taskbar or:
1. On Windows CE devices, you can open Connections folder or Control

energy, you can switch it off using the Wireless Communications
applet.
Suspending the terminal powers off the 802.11b/g radio and
drops the radio connection. When the terminal resumes,
depending on the radio power mode and security protocol
selected, it may take up to 30 seconds for the 802.11b/g radio
driver to re-associate the radio to the network.
Area coverage and radio performance may vary, due to
environmental conditions, access points types or interference
caused by other devices (microwave ovens, radio transmitters,
etc.)
In case of heavy usage the Elf could get warm, this is normal and
does not mean a malfunction.
