Installing and Removing the Main Battery
Installing the Main Battery
Before using the EDA, install a lithium-ion battery. Depending upon the configuration, the MC70 may ship with a
1900 mAh, 3600 mAh or 3800 mAh battery. The 1900 mAh battery is shown. The extended capacity batteries
requires a larger capacity battery cover. When using the 4800 mAh battery (light gray color), ensure that the 4800
mAh battery door is used.
1. Insert the battery, top first, into the battery compartment in the back of the EDA.
2. Press the battery down into the battery compartment until the battery release latch snaps into place.

Charging the Battery
Charging the Main Battery and Memory Backup Battery
Before using the EDA for the first time, charge the main battery until the amber Charge Status LED remains lit (see
Table 1-3 on page 1-7 for charge status indications). To charge the EDA, use a cable or a cradle with the
appropriate power supply. For information about the accessories available for the EDA, see Chapter 6,
Accessories.
The EDA is equipped with a memory backup battery which automatically charges from the fully-charged main
battery. When using the EDA for the first time, the backup battery requires approximately 24 hours to fully charge.
This is also true any time the backup battery is discharged, which occurs when the main battery is removed for
several hours. The backup battery retains RAM data in memory for at least 30 minutes (at room temperature) when
the EDA's main battery is removed. When the EDA reaches a very low battery state, the combination of main
battery and backup battery retains data in memory for at least 40 hours.
To charge batteries, use either a cable or one of the following cradles. For cradle setup and charging procedures
refer to the MC70 Integrator Guide.
•
Single Slot USB/Serial Cradle
•
Four Slot Ethernet Cradle
•
Vehicle Cradle.
Snap-on accessories such as the Magnetic Stripe Reader (MSR) and the Trigger Handle provide a pass-through
port for charging.
To charge the main battery:
1. Connect the charging accessory to the appropriate power source.
2. Insert the EDA into a cradle or attach the cable. The EDA begins charging. The Charge LED blinks amber
while charging, then turns solid amber when fully charged. See Table 1-3 for charging indications.
Table 1-2 list the charge times for each available battery.

Note: When the battery is initially inserted in the EDA, the amber LED flashes once
if the battery power is low or the battery is not fully inserted.
Charging error, e.g.:
•
Temperature is too low or too high.
•
Charging has gone on too long without completing (typically eight hours).
Charging Spare Batteries
Use one of the following accessories to charge a spare battery:
•
Single Slot USB/Serial Cradle
•
Four Slot Battery Charger
•
VCD7000 Vehicle Cradle.
To charge a spare battery:
1. Connect the spare battery charging accessory to the appropriate power source.
2. Insert the spare battery into the accessory’s spare battery charging slot with the charging contacts facing down
(over the charging pins) and gently press down on the battery to ensure proper contact.
The battery begins charging. The amber charge LED on the accessory lights to show the charge status.
Table 1-2 list the charge times for each available battery.
1 - 8 MC70 User Guide
Charging Temperature
Charge batteries in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). Note that at temperatures above 35°C,
charging is intelligently controlled by the EDA and the charging accessory in order to ensure safe operation and
optimize long-term battery life.
To accomplish this, for small periods of time, the EDA or accessory alternately enables and disables battery
charging to keep the battery at acceptable temperatures. The EDA or accessory indicates when charging is
disabled due to abnormal temperatures via its LED. See Table 1-3.
Powering On the EDA
Press the Power button to turn on the EDA. If the EDA does not power on, reset it. See Resetting the EDA on page
2-23.
When turning the EDA on for the first time, the Symbol splash screen displays for about a minute as the EDA
initializes its flash file system, then the calibration window appears. Note that these windows also appear upon cold
boot.
NOTE When the EDA powers up after inserting a battery for the first time, the device boots and powers on
automatically.
Calibrating the Screen
To calibrate the screen so the cursor on the touch screen aligns with the tip of the stylus:
1. Remove the stylus from its holder on the back of the EDA.
2. Carefully press and briefly hold the tip of stylus on the center of each target that appears on the screen.
3. Repeat as the target moves around the screen, then tap the screen to continue.
