Getting Started
In order to start using the mobile computer for the first time:
•
Install the main battery
•
Charge the main battery and backup battery
•
Start the mobile computer
•
Configure the mobile computer
The main battery can be charged before or af ter it is inst a lled. Use one of the sp are b attery ch argers to charge
the main battery (out of the mobile computer), or one of the cradles to charge the main battery installed in the
mobile computer.
Installing and Removing the Main Battery
Installing the Main Battery
Before using the mobile computer , install a lithium-ion battery by sliding the battery into the mobile computer as
shown in Figure 1-2.
NOTEEnsure the battery is fully inserted. Two audible clicks can be heard as the battery is fully inserted. A
partially inserted battery may result in unintentional data loss.
When a battery is fully inserted in a mobile computer for the first time, upon the mobile computer’s first power
up, the device boots and powers on automatically.
Figure 1-2
Installing the Main Battery
Charging the Battery
Charging the Main Battery and Memory Backup Battery
Before using the mobile computer for the first time, charge the main battery until the amber charge indicator
light remains lit (see T able 1-2 on page 1-6 for charge status indications). The main battery fully ch arges in less
than four hours. The mobile computer can be charged using a cradle, the CAM, or the MSR with the
appropriate power supply.
The mobile computer is also equipped with a memory backup battery which automatically charges from the
main battery whether or not the mobile computer is operating or is in suspend mode. The memory backup
battery retains data in memory for at least 30 minutes when the mobile computer's main battery is removed or
fully discharged. When the mobile computer is used for the first time or after the memory backup battery has
fully discharged, the memory backup battery requires approximately 15 hours to fully charge. Do not remove
the main battery from the mobile computer for 15 hours to ensure that the memory backup battery fully
charges. If the main battery is removed from the mobile computer or the main battery is fully discharged, the
memory backup battery completely discharges in several hours.
When the main battery reaches a very low battery state, the combination of main battery and backup battery
retains data in memory for at least 72 hours.
Getting Started1 - 5
NOTEDo not remove the main battery within the first 15 hours of use. If the main battery is removed before
the backup battery is fully charged, data may be lost.
Use the following to charge batteries:
•
Cradles: The mobile computer slips into the cr adles for cha rging the ba tter y in the mobile com puter (a nd
spare batteries, where applicable). For detailed cradle setup and charging procedures refer to the
MC909X User Guide.
- Single Slot Serial/USB Cradle.
- Four Slot Ethernet Cradle
- Four Slot Charge Only Cradle
•
Accessories: The mobile computer snap-on accessories provide charging capability, when used with one
of the accessory charging cables. For detailed snap-on setup and charging procedures refer to the
MC909X User Guide.
- CAM
- MSR
•
Chargers: The mobile computer spare battery charging accessories are used to charge batteries that are
removed from the mobile computer. For detailed spare battery charging accessories setup and charging
procedures refer to the MC909X User Guide.
- Single Slot Serial/USB Cradle
- Four Slot Spare Battery Charger
- Universal Battery Charger (UBC) Adapter
NOTETo achieve the best battery life in mobile computers with multiple radios, turn off the radios that are not
being used. This can be accomplished via the SetDevicePower() API (refer to the SMDK Help File for
Symbol Mobile Computers) or via the Control Panel application (tap Start - 9000 Demo - Ctl Panel icon).
