Charging the Battery

Before using your PDT 8100 for the first time, charge the lithium-ion battery in the terminal for
about 2½ hours, using the CRD 8100 Cradle or the Synchronization Cable. Follow these same
procedures to recharge the battery.
Your terminal is equipped with a memory backup battery, which automatically charges from the
fully charged lithium-ion battery.
This backup battery retains data in memory when the terminal's battery is removed, and takes
several hours to charge when you first use your terminal.
Note: If you remove your lithium-ion battery before the backup battery is fully charged,
data may be lost. For this reason, DO NOT remove the battery within the first ten
hours of use.
Charging the Battery Using the CRD 8100 Cradle
1. Set up the cradle according to the procedures in the CRD 8100 Quick Reference Guide.
2. Insert the PDT 8100 terminal in the cradle.
3. The Terminal Status LED turns red (may take up to one minute) to indicate charging,
then turns off when the battery is fully charged. The terminal's battery is fully charged
after approximately 2½ hours.
