Getting Started
Battery
Release Latch
To start using the EDA for the first time:
•
Install the main battery and cover assembly.
•
Charge the EDA.
•
Power on the EDA.
•
Configure the EDA.
Charge the main battery before or after it is installed. Use one of the spare battery chargers to charge the battery
(out of the EDA), or one of the cradles to charge the battery installed in the EDA.
Installing and Removing the Main Battery
Installing the Main Battery
Getting Started 1 - 3
Before using the EDA, install a lithium-ion battery. Depending upon the configuration, the MC70 may ship with a
1900 mAh, 3600 mAh or 3800 mAh battery. The 1900 mAh battery is shown. The extended capacity batteries
require a larger capacity battery cover. When using the 4800 mAh battery (light gray color), ensure that the 4800
mAh battery door is used.
1. Insert the battery, top first, into the battery compartment in the back of the EDA.
2. Press the battery down into the battery compartment until the battery release latch snaps into place.

Charging the Main Battery and Memory Backup Battery
Before using the EDA for the first time, charge the main battery until the amber Charge Status LED remains lit (see
Table 1-3 on page 1-6 for charge status indications) using a cable or a cradle with the appropriate power supply.
For information about the accessories available for the EDA, see Chapter 2 , Accessories.
The EDA is equipped with a memory backup battery which automatically charges from the fully-charged main
battery . When the EDA is used for the first time, the backup battery requires appr oximately 24 hours to fully charge.
This also applies any time the backup battery is discharged, which occurs when the main battery is removed for
several hours. The backup battery retains RAM data in memo ry for at least 30 minutes (at room temperature) when
the EDA's main battery is removed. When the EDA reaches a very low battery state, the combination of main
battery and backup battery retains data in memory for at least 40 hours.
To charge batteries, use either a cable or one of the following cradles:
•
Single Slot USB/Serial Cradle on page 2-4
•
Four Slot Ethernet Cradle on page 2-6
•
VCD7000 Vehicle Cradle on page 2-12.
Snap-on accessories such as the Magnetic Stripe Reader (MSR) and the Trigger Handle provide a pass-through
port for charging.
To charge the main battery in the EDA:
1. Connect the charging accessory to the appropriate power source. See Chapter 2, Accessories for setup
information.
2. Insert the EDA into a cradle or attach the cable. The EDA begins charging. The Charge LED is amber while
charging, then turns solid amber when fully charged. See Table 1-3 for charging indications.

Charging error, e.g.,:
•
Temperature is too low or too high.
•
Charging has gone on too long without completing (typically eight hours).
Charging Spare Batteries
Use one of the following accessories to charge a spare battery:
•
Single Slot USB/Serial Cradle on page 2-4
•
Four Slot Spare Battery Charger on page 2-20
•
VCD7000 Vehicle Cradle on page 2-12.
To charge a spare battery:
1. Connect the spare battery charging accessory to the appropriate power source.
2. Insert the spare battery into the accessory’s spare battery charg ing slot with the charging cont acts facing down
(over the charging pins) and gently press down on the battery to ensure proper contact.
The battery begins charging. The amber charge LED on the accessory lights to show the charge status.
Table 1-2 list the charge times for each available battery.
Charging Temperature
Charge batteries in temperatures from 0oC to 40oC (32°F to 104°F). Note that at temperatures above 35oC,
charging is intelligently controlled by the EDA and the charging accessory in order to ensure safe operation and
optimize long-term battery life.
To accomplish this, for small periods of time, the EDA or accessory alternately enables and disables battery
charging to keep the battery at acceptable temperatures. The EDA or accessory indicates when charging is
disabled due to abnormal temperatures via its LED. See Table 1-3.
Powering On the EDA
Press the Power button to turn on the EDA. If the EDA does not power on, rese t it. See Resetting the EDA on p age
1-7.
When turning the EDA on for the first time, the splash screen displays for about a minute as the EDA initializes its
flash file system, then the calibration window appears. Note that these windows also appear upon cold boot.
NOTE When the EDA powers up after inserting a battery for the first time, the device boots and powers on
automatically.

Calibrating the Screen
To calibrate the screen so the cursor on the touch screen aligns with the tip of the stylus:
1. Remove the stylus from its holder on the back of the EDA.
2. Carefully press and briefly hold the tip of stylus on the center of each target that appears on the screen.
3. Repeat as the target moves around the screen, then tap the screen to continue.
Resetting the EDA
There are two reset functions, warm boot and cold boot. A warm boot restarts the EDA by closing all running
programs. A cold boot also restarts the EDA, and also resets the clock. Data saved in flash memory or a memory
card is not lost.
Perform a warm boot first. If the EDA still does not respond, perform a cold boot.
Performing a Warm Boot
Hold down the Power button for approximately five seconds. As soon as the EDA starts to perform a warm boot
release the

To perform a cold boot:
1. Simultaneously press the Power button and the 1 and 9 keys.
2. The EDA initializes.

Performing a Clean Boot
CAUTION A clean boot should only be performed by an authorized system administrator. Y ou must connect the EDA
to AC power during a clean boot.
Removing AC power from the EDA during a clean boot may render the EDA inoperable.
