Charging the Battery

P D T 8 0 X X W W A N

Charging the Main Battery and Memory Backup Battery

Before using your terminal for the first time, charge the lithium-ion

y

battery in the terminal for approximately four hours, using the

Serial Charging Cable or any other appropriate accessory.

l

Your terminal is equipped with a memory backup battery which

automatically charges from the fully-charged lithium-ion battery.

n

This backup battery retains data in memory when the terminal’s

battery is removed, and can take up to 20 hours to charge when

you first use your terminal.

O

Note: If you remove your lithium-ion battery b fore the back-

e

up battery is fully charged, data may be lost. For this

reason, DO NOT remove the batterysbefore the backup

battery is fully charged, which can take up to 20 hours.
