Charging the Battery
Before using the MC45 for the first time, charge the main battery until the green Charging/Battery Status LED remains lit (see Table 1-1 on page 1-7 for charge status indications). To charge the MC45, use the USB Rapid Charge Cable or a cradle with the appropriate power supply. For information about the accessories available for the MC45, see Chapter 8, Accessories.
To charge the battery, use either a USB Rapid Charge Cable or a cradle. For USB Rapid Charge Cable or cradle setup and charging procedures refer to the MC45 Integrator Guide.
Single Slot Charge Cradle
Multi Slot Universal Charge Only Cradle
Vehicle Charge Cradle.
To charge the battery:
Getting Started 1 - 7
1. Connect the charging accessory to the appropriate power source.
2. Insert the MC45 into a cradle or attach to the USB Rapid Charge Cable and Power Supply. The MC45 begins
charging. The Charging/Battery Status LED blinks green while charging, then turns solid green when fully
charged. See Table 1-1 for charging indications.
3. The 3080mAh battery fully charges in less than six hours at room temperature of approximately 25 °C (77°F).
Charging time may vary at different temperatures.
