Getting Started
Introduction
This chapter provides information for getting the device up and running for the first time.
Setup
Perform this procedure to start using the TC20 for the first time.
1.Install a micro secure digital (SD) card (optional).
2.Charge the TC20.
3.Power on the TC20.
Installing a microSD Card
The microSD card slot provides secondary non-volatile storage. The slot is located under the access door. Refer to
the documentation provided with the card for more information, and follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for
use.
CAUTION Use proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions to avoid damaging the microSD card. Proper
ESD precautions include, but are not limited to, working on an ESD mat and ensuring that the operator
is properly grounded.
1.Using a #0 Phillips screwdriver, remove two screws securing the access door.

Charging the Battery
Before using the TC20 for the first time, charge the battery until the green Charging/Notification light emitting diode
(LED) remains lit. To charge the TC20 use a cradle with the appropriate power supply or USB cable and power
supply. For information about the accessories available for the TC20 see Accessories for more information.
The battery charges from fully depleted to 90% in approximately four hours and from fully depleted to 100% in
approximately five hours.
NOTE In many cases the 90% charge provides plenty of charge for daily use. A full 100% charge lasts for
approximately 10 hours of use.
Use only Zebra charging accessories and batteries. Charge batteries at room temperature with the TC20 in
sleep mode.
Charge batteries in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). The TC20 or accessory always performs
battery charging in a safe and intelligent manner. At higher temperatures (e.g. approximately +37°C (+98°F)) the
TC20 or accessory may for small periods of time alternately enable and disable battery charging to keep the
battery at acceptable temperatures. The TC20 or accessory indicates when charging is disabled due to abnormal
temperatures via its LED and a notification appears on the display.
To charge the main battery:
15
Getting Started
1.Connect the charging accessory to the appropriate power source.
2.Insert the TC20 into a cradle or attach to a cable. The TC20 turns on and begins charging. The
Charging/Notification LED blinks amber while charging, then turns solid green when fully charged.
