Figure 6 Three Slot Cradle
Getting Started
The battery charges 0 to 90% depending on the following conditions, measured at room temperature:
•When connected to a 1.0 cradle (normal charge mode), charge time is less than four hours.
•When connected to a 1.5 cradle (fast charge mode), charge time is less than three hours.
NOTE: To charge the battery in the device, it is recommended to use a charging cradle instead of the USB
cable, since it is more time efficient.
Charging Temperature
Charge batteries in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). The device or cradle always performs
battery charging in a safe and intelligent manner. At higher temperatures (for example, approximately
+37°C (+98°F)) the device or cradle may for small periods of time alternately enable and disable battery
charging to keep the battery at acceptable temperatures. The device and cradle indicates when charging is
disabled due to abnormal temperatures via its LED.
LED Status Indicators
By default, the charging LED indication is disabled.
To enable the charging LED indication:
1. Go to Settings.
2. Touch Display.
3. Touch Charging LED. The option switch turns green.
