Charging and Installing the Battery Pack

nugget
• If the terminal turns off due to a low battery charge, do not turn the
terminal back on. Replace or charge the battery pack before you
continue using the terminal.
Note: Do not press _ when there is no battery pack installed in the
terminal.
The battery pack is the main power source for the terminal and it charges
the backup power source, when required. If the main battery charge goes
low, you need to replace it with a charged battery pack or charge the
battery pack as soon as possible.
There are two ways to find out if the battery pack is low:
• The Battery LED turns on and the terminal beeps once every 15
seconds.
• Check the status of the battery pack using the Battery/PIC Status
diagnostic test. For help, see Chapter 4, "Running Diagnostics," in the
2400 Family system manual.
Note: While the battery is charging, do not use this diagnostic test to
determine when the battery is fully charged. To determine when the
battery is fully charged, use the status LEDs on the battery chargers or
communications dock.
You must fully charge the battery pack before you can use the terminal.
To charge the battery pack
• Place the battery pack in an empty slot in the battery charger. The
charger uses a charging method that maximizes battery life. Charge the
battery pack until the Charge Status LED turns green to ensure that it is
fully charged. The standard battery pack takes about 2 hours to charge
and the high performance battery pack takes about 4 hours. For help,
see the documentation that came with your charger.
• Install the battery pack in the 241X. For help, see the next procedure,
"To install the battery pack." Place the terminal in the communications
dock and connect the communications dock to an external power
supply. The standard battery pack takes about 1.25 hours to charge and
the high performance battery pack takes about 2.5 hours For help, see
the Trakker Antares TD2410 Communications Dock Quick Reference
Guide (P/N 069552).
