Charging the Battery
Caution: Ensure that you follow the
page 105.
Before using the MC40 for the first time, charge the main battery until the Right light emitting diode (LED) turns
solid green (see Table 5: Battery Charge LED Status on page
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 97.
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.

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 or > 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 temperatures. The
MC40 or accessory indicates when charging is disabled due to abnormal temperatures via its LED.
Charging Spare Batteries
See Accessories on page 97 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.
Replacing the Battery
Note: Ensure that the Battery Swap mode procedures are followed, otherwise the backup battery will
deplete quickly.
Procedure:
1 Press the Power button until the menu displays.
2 Touch Battery swap. The Right and Left LEDs light red.
3 Wait until the LEDs turns off.
