Getting Started
Getting Started
Before using the Pegaso for the first time, you must install the Battery Pack into
the unit, then charge both the Battery Pack and the Backup Battery. See Installing the Battery Pack on page 7 for instructions
You must charge the battery pack and backup battery in a dock or
with a power cable prior to your first use of the Pegaso. The initial
charge time is approximately 4 hours. See Charging the Batteries on
CAUTION
page 10 for more information.
.
Powering the Pegaso
Battery Pack
The battery pack in the Pegaso is a 3.7 V, 2200
mAh or 3300 mAh Lithium Ion battery pack. A
message dialog box will appear when the battery
pack reaches a low state.
After charging the first time, a complete charge
takes about four (4) hours depending on the battery pack’s state and the recharging method. A
sample battery pack label is shown at right. The
label on your unit may vary from the illustration.

Quick Reference Guide 5
Powering the Pegaso
You must charge the battery pack and backup battery in a dock or
with a power cable prior to your first use of the Pegaso. The initial
charge time is approximately 4 hours.
If you remove the battery pack or it fails, there is a 30-minute window
CAUTION
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 backup battery is less than fully charged, there is a
smaller window of time available. Usage time will be reduced, also.
Always charge within temperature range of 32°–113°F (0°–40°C). Reg-
ularly charging near the temperature limits will increase the time nec-
essary to fully charge the battery, and will shorten the battery’s useful
life.
Use only the authorized power supplies, battery packs, chargers, and
docks supplied by your Datalogic reseller. Use only the battery pack
that is specified. Only use the battery with a charging system that has
been qualified with the system per this standard. Use of an unquali-
fied battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage,
or other hazard. Unauthorized battery pack and improper use of either
battery pack or charging system may present a risk of fire, explosion,
leakage or other hazards. The use of other power supplies can dam-
age the unit and void your warranty. Refer to the PRG for the correct
power supplies and Accessories.

WARNING
Powering the Pegaso
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 connect the positive terminal and negative terminal of the
battery to each other or short circuit battery terminals with any
metal object (such as wire, coin or metallic object).
• Do not expose the battery to liquids, or allow to get wet.
• Do not disassemble, modify, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture,
shred, remanufacture or pierce the battery. The battery contains
safety and protection devices, which, if damaged, may cause the
battery to generate heat, explode or ignite.
• Use only battery packs that have been authorized by Datalogic per
IEEE Standard 1725-200x for GSM/GPRS/EDGE operation.
• Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regu-
lations.
• Battery usage by children should be supervised.
• Avoid dropping the PDA or battery. If the PDA or battery is
dropped, especially on a hard surface, and the user suspects dam-
age, return it to a service center for inspection.
• Only use the battery for the system for which it is specified.
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.
Installing the Battery Pack
When you first remove the Pegaso from the box, you must charge
both the battery pack and the backup battery for a minimum of 4
hours.
The Pegaso’s Battery and its cover are integrated — they do not come apart.
Complete the following instructions to install the battery pack:
1. Loosen the elastic handstrap by releasing it from the bottom of the unit
(refer to the PRG).
2. Orient the battery pack with the latch facing toward the top of the Pegaso
(refer to
3. Replace the battery door by inserting the bottom tab into the unit, then
clicking the latch into place. If the battery pack is installed incorrectly, it
will not seat properly.

If you remove the battery pack or the battery fails, you have about 30
minutes to swap in a new battery pack or charge the battery pack
before the backup battery fails (if the backup battery has been fully
charged).

Charging with the Dock
A Single-Slot Dock powered by an external power supply (AC adaptor) is available for the Pegaso. Pegasos communicate with the host PC using Microsoft
ActiveSync protocol via either a USB or serial port.
Two methods exist for charging a battery pack using a Single-Slot Dock. Refer
Table 2 on page 10. The amber light on the dock will blink when a battery is
to
inserted, to indicate a successful connection. For more information on the
Dock, refer to the PRG, or the instructions that come with each dock.

Backup Battery
The rechargeable 3.7V Lithium Backup Battery receives its charge from the Battery Pack. To retain date, time, data, and other settings for the Pegaso, maintain
at least a minimal charge on the Battery Pack.
To maximize the backup battery usable life always store the unit with a main
battery installed or place the unit in a charging dock when not in use.
When the backup battery is low, an icon will display on the status bar (see
Table 1 on page 8), and a dialog box will open to alert you.
