Figure 7 Insert Bottom of Battery into Battery Compartment
Getting Started
2. Press the battery down into the battery compartment until the battery release latches snap into place.
Charging the Battery
Before using the device for the first time, charge the main battery until the green Charging/Notification light
emitting diode (LED) remains lit. To charge the device use a cable or a cradle with the appropriate power
supply. For information about the accessories available for the device see Accessories for more information.
The >
15.48 Watt hours (typical) / > 4,150 mAh battery charges from fully depleted to 90% in approximately 2.5
hours and from fully depleted to 100% in approximately three hours.
NOTE: In many cases the 90% charge provides plenty of charge for daily use. A full 100% charge lasts for approximately
14 hours of use.
To achieve the best fast charging results use only Zebra charging accessories and batteries. Charge batteries at room temperature with the device in sleep mode.
Charge batteries in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). The device or accessory always performs
battery charging in a safe and intelligent manner. At higher temperatures (e.g. approximately +37°C (+98°F))
the device or accessory may for small periods of time alternately enable and disable battery charging to keep
the battery at acceptable temperatures. The device 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 device into a cradle or attach to a cable. The device turns on and begins charging. The
Charging/Notification LED blinks amber while charging, then turns solid green when fully charged.
