After installing the battery on your VX 520 3G terminal, connect the power pack to the unit for at least 6 hours or until fully charged. The smart battery has a safety circuit to protect the Li-ion cells from overcharging and over-discharging. If the battery is over-discharged, the safety circuit shuts down the battery. The battery must then be recharged to restore operation.
The VX 520 3G terminal automatically shuts off when the smart battery reaches the critically low charge state. If this occurs, the smart battery must be recharged for a minimum of 1/2 hour before it can power the terminal. It may take several recharge attempts to reset the safety circuit when charging a smart battery that has been discharged below this critical state.
