Getting Started
Charging the Battery
Before using the TC25 for the first time, charge the internal battery until the green Charging/Notification light
emitting diode (LED) remains lit. To charge the TC25 use a USB-C cable or a cradle with the appropriate
power supply. For information about the accessories available for the TC25 see Accessories on page 25 for
more information.
The internal 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 TC25 in sleep mode.
Charge batteries in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). The TC25 or accessory always performs
battery charging in a safe and intelligent manner. At higher temperatures (e.g. approximately +37°C (+98°F))
the TC25 or accessory may for small periods of time alternately enable and disable battery charging to keep
the battery at acceptable temperatures. The TC25 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:
1. Connect the charging accessory to the appropriate power source.

2. Insert the TC25 into a cradle or attach to a cable. The TC25 turns on and begins charging. The
Charging/Notification LED blinks amber while charging, then turns solid green when fully charged.
