CHAPTER 1 GETTING STARTED
This chapter provides the features of the MC40 and explains how to set it up for the first time.
Unpacking
Carefully remove all protective material from the MC40 and save the shipping container for later storage and
shipping.
Verify the following items are in the box:
• MC40
• Lithium-ion battery
• Quick Start Guide
• Regulatory Guide.
Inspect the equipment for damage. If any equipment is missing or damaged, contact the Zebra Support Center
immediately. See Service Information for contact information.
Setup
To start using the MC40 for the first time:
• Install the battery
• Charge the MC40
• Power on the MC40.
Installing the Battery
To install the battery:
1.Align the battery with the slots in the battery compartment.
1 - 2MC40 Mobile Computer Integrator Guide for AOSP Version 5.1.1
Figure 1-1 Inserting the Battery
2.Lower the battery and press down until it snaps into place.
3.Press down on the battery latch.
4.Press the Power button to turn on the MC40.
Charging the Battery
CAUTION Ensure that you follow the guidelines for battery safety described in Battery Safety Guidelines on page
8-1.
Before using the MC40 for the first time, charge the main battery until the Right light emitting diode (LED) turns
solid green (see Ta ble 1 -1 o n pag e 1- 3 for charge status indications). To charge the MC40, use a cable or a cradle
with the appropriate power supply. For information about the accessories available for the MC40, see Chapter 2,
Accessories.
The MC40 is equipped with a memory backup battery that automatically charges from the fully-charged main
battery . When using the MC40 for the first time, the backup battery requires approximately 36 hours to fully charge.
This is also true any time the backup battery is discharged, which occurs when the main battery is removed for
several hours. The backup battery retains random access memory (RAM) data in memory for at least 10 minutes
(at room temperature) when the MC40’s main battery is removed, when Battery Swap feature is used. When the
MC40 reaches a very low battery state, the combination of main battery and backup battery retains RAM data in
memory for at least 48 hours.
For cable and cradle setup and charging procedures see Chapter 2, Accessories.
• Micro USB Cable
• Single Slot Charging Cradle
• Five Slot Charge Only Cradle.

Charging error, e.g.:
Temperature is too low or too high.
Charging has gone on too long without completion (typically eight hours).
Critical battery state. Battery too low to boot device.
Battery over-temperature condition. Device shuts down. Battery will not
charge until temperature returns to normal operating value.
Charging Temperature
Charge batteries in ambient temperatures from 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F) or up to 45 °C (113 °F) as reported
by the battery. To view the battery temperature, touch > About device > Battery Information.
Note that charging is intelligently controlled by the MC40. To accomplish this, for small periods of time, the MC40 or
accessory alternately enables and disables battery charging to keep the battery at acceptable temper atures. The
MC40 or accessory indicates when charging is disabled due to abnormal temperatures via its LED.
Charging Spare Batteries
See Chapter 2, Accessories for information on using accessories to charge spare batteries.
Powering On the MC40
If the MC40 did not turn on when the battery was installed, press the Power button until the Right and Left LEDs
flash once. The splash screen displays for about a minute as the MC40 initializes its flash file system. Note that
these windows also appear upon reset.
NOTE The MC40 Android Lollipop version contains a known limitation that for every first reboot (after flashing or
an enterprise/factory reset), the device may take approximately eight minutes to boot to the home screen.
Replacing the Battery
NOTE Ensure that the Battery Swap mode procedures are followed, otherwise the backup battery will deplete
quickly.
