Getting Started

In order to start using the mobile computer for the first time:

•

install the main battery

•

charge the main battery and backup battery

•

start the mobile computer

•

configure the mobile computer.

The main battery can be charged before or after it is installed. Use one of the spare battery chargers to charge the main battery (out of the mobile computer), or one of the cradles to charge the main battery installed in the mobile computer.

Installing and Removing the Main Battery

Installing the Main Battery

Before using the mobile computer, install a lithium-ion battery by sliding the battery into the mobile computer as shown in Figure 1-4.

NOTE Ensure the battery is fully inserted. Two audible clicks can be heard as the battery is fully inserted. A

partially inserted battery may result in unintentional data loss.

When a battery is fully inserted in a mobile computer for the first time, upon the mobile computer’s first power up, the device boots and powers on automatically.

Charging the Battery

CAUTION Ensure that you follow the guidelines for battery safety described in Battery Safety Guidelines on page 7-1.

Charging the Main Battery and Memory Backup Battery

Before using the mobile computer for the first time, charge the main battery until the amber charge indicator light remains lit (see Table 1-2 on page 1-8 for charge status indications). The main battery fully charges in less than four hours. The mobile computer can be charged using a cradle, the CAM, or the MSR with the appropriate power supply.

The mobile computer is also equipped with a memory backup battery which automatically charges from the main battery whether or not the mobile computer is operating or is in suspend mode. The memory backup battery retains data in memory for at least 30 minutes when the mobile computer's main battery is removed or fully discharged. When the mobile computer is used for the first time or after the memory backup battery has fully discharged, the memory backup battery requires approximately 15 hours to fully charge. Do not remove the main battery from the mobile computer for 15 hours to ensure that the memory backup battery fully charges. If the main battery is removed from the mobile computer or the main battery is fully discharged, the memory backup battery completely discharges in several hours.

Getting Started 1 - 7

When the main battery reaches a very low battery state, the combination of main battery and backup battery retains data in memory for at least 72 hours.

NOTE Do not remove the main battery within the first 15 hours of use. If the main battery is removed before the

backup battery is fully charged, data may be lost.
