Unpacking

Carefully remove all protective material from around the MC9190-G and save the shipping container for later storage and shipping.

Verify that you received all equipment listed below:

•

mobile computer

•

lithium-ion battery

•

strap, attached to the MC9190-G

•

•

Regulatory Guide

•

Quick Start Guide.

Inspect the equipment for damage. If you are missing any equipment or if you find any damaged equipment, contact the Zebra Global Interactive Center immediately. See

page xii for contact information.

Getting Started

In order to start using the MC9190-G for the first time:

•

install the main battery

•

charge the main battery and backup battery

•

start the MC9190-G

•

configure the MC9190-G.

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 MC9190-G), or one of the cradles to charge the main battery installed in the MC9190-G.

Installing the Main Battery

Before using the MC9190-G, install a lithium-ion battery by sliding the battery into the MC9190-G as shown in

Figure 1-2.

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 MC9190-G for the first time, upon first power up, the device boots and powers on automatically.

Getting Started 1 - 3

Figure 1-2

Charging the Battery

Installing the Main Battery

CAUTION Ensure that you follow the guidelines for battery safety described in Battery Safety Guidelines on page 6-1.

Charging the Main Battery and Memory Backup Battery

Before using the MC9190-G for the first time, charge the main battery until the amber charge indicator light remains lit (see Table 1-1 on page 1-4 for charge status indications). The main battery fully charges in less than four hours. The MC9190-G can be charged using a cradle, the CAM,

The MC9190-G is also equipped with a memory backup batter whether or not the MC9190-G is operating or is in suspend mode. The memory backup battery retains data in memory for at least 30 minutes when the MC9190-G's main battery is removed or fully discharged. When the MC9190-G 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 MC9190-G for 15 hours to ensure that the memory backup battery fully charges. If the main battery is removed from the MC9190-G or the main battery is fully discharged, the memory backup battery completely discharges in several hours.

When the main battery reaches a very low battery state, the combination of main battery and backup battery

etains data in memory for at least 72 hours.

or the MSR with the appropriate power supply.

y which automatically charges from the main battery

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.
