Charging the Battery
Before using the TC70 for the first time, charge the main battery until the green Charging/Notification light emitting
diode (LED) remains lit. To charge the TC70, use a cable or a cradle with the appropriate power supply. For
information about the accessories available for the TC70, see Accessories on page 117 for more information.
•Snap-On USB Cable
•Charging Cable Cup
•2-Slot Charge Only Cradle
•2-Slot USB/Ethernet Cradle
•5-Slot Charge Only Cradle
•5-Slot Ethernet Cradle
The 4,620 mAh battery fully charges in approximately six hours at room temperature.
Charge batteries in temperatures from 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F). The TC70 or accessory always performs
battery charging in a safe and intelligent manner. At higher temperatures (e.g. approximately +37 °C (+98 °F)) the
TC70 or accessory may for small periods of time alternately enable and disable battery charging to keep the battery at
acceptable temperatures. The TC70 or accessory indicates when charging is disabled due to abnormal temperatures
via its LED.
Procedure:
1 To charge the main battery, connect the charging accessory to the appropriate power source.
2 Insert the TC70 into a cradle or attach to a cable. The TC70 turns on and begins charging. The Charging/
Notification LED blinks amber while charging, then turns solid green when fully charged.

28 | Getting Started
Figure 18: Battery Screen
The Battery screen lists the applications using the battery. The discharge graph at the top of the screen shows the rate
of the battery discharge since last charged (short periods of time when connected to a charger are shown as thin green
lines at the bottom of the chart), and how long it has been running on battery power.
Touch an application in the Battery screen to display details about its power consumption. Different applications
display different information. Some applications include buttons that open screens with settings to adjust power use.
Low Battery Notification
When the battery charge level drops below 18%, the TC70 displays a notice to connect the TC70 to power. The user
should charge the battery using one of the charging accessories.
Figure 19: Low Battery Notification
When the battery charge drops below 10%, the TC70 displays a notice to connect the TC70 to power. The user must
