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:
Procedure:
1 Align the battery with the slots in the battery compartment.
18 | Getting Started
Figure 2: 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
page 151.
Before using the MC40 for the first time, charge the main battery until the Right light emitting diode (LED) turns
solid green (see Table 1: Battery Charge LED Status on page 18
MC40, use a cable or a cradle with the appropriate power supply. For information about the accessories available for
the MC40, see Accessories on page 25.
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 refer to the MC40 Integrator Guide.
•Micro USB Cable
•Single Slot Charging Cradle
•Five Slot Charge Only Cradle.
