Battery
EDA50K-X uses 3.8V rechargable lithium ion battery as its main power supply. The battery
capacity is 15.2 watt/hour. Battery life is influenced by many factors, such as: screen
brightness, the length of time before the screen automatically go to sleep, input
configurations, extreme temperature and using behaviors, etc.
Honeywell suggests you to keep the battery charged to avoid data loss. Change battery only
after switching off the device as per normal. Switch on the device after completing change
of battery.
If you need to buy a replacable battery, please contact regional resellers.
Warning: Improper use of the battery of this device can cause a fire or chemical burns.
Please don't disassemble the battery or heat it to 100 °C (212 °F) and above, or
incinerate the battery. Make sure waste batteries are properly disposed. Keep out of
reach of the children.
We would recommend using only Honeywell’s lithium battery; any damage caused by
use of non-Honeywell battery is not covered by warranty.
Charging
Before using EDA50K-X, you need to make sure the battery (model number BAT-EDA50K)
is fully charged. You can charge the battery before or after installing it to EDA50K-X. It
will take about 4.5 hours for the battery to be fully charged using original quad charger
(cradle charger or otherwise).
We would recommend using Honeywell’s original charger; any damage caused by use
of non-Honeywell charger is not covered by warranty
