Before using the tablet for the first time, connect it to an external power source. Keep the tablet connected to the external power source until it is fully charged. The Charging Indicator LED turns green when the tablet is fully charged. You may use the tablet while it is charging.
For the best charging experience, Zebra recommends using the ET80/ET85 dock or the Zebra USB-C to AC adapter.
The tablet main battery charges from fully depleted to 90% in approximately 2 hours and from fully depleted to 100% in approximately 3 hours.
