Learning the Basics
Charging the battery
The battery can be charged while attached to the
375 Field Communicator or charged separately.
The indication light on the charger will be green
when fully charged, amber when charging, cycle
between amber and green when pulse charging,
and red if it is unable to charge.
Do not attempt to charge the battery pack in
hazardous areas. To charge the 375 Field
Communicator battery:
1. Plug the recharger/power supply into a power
outlet.
2. Plug the power supply/charger connection into
the 375 Field Communicator. The 375 Field
Communicator is fully operable while the battery
is recharging.
Removing the System Card and battery pack
Remove the System Card and battery pack:
1. Place the 375 Field Communicator face down on
a level, secure surface.
2. Loosen the two battery pack retaining screws
until the top of each screw is flush with the top of
the battery pack.
3. Slide the battery off the main unit. Do not pull up
on the battery pack as this could damage the
power supply connector.
4. Grasp the System Card and slide it straight out
of the main unit. Do not pull up on the System
Card as this could damage the card or the
System Card socket.
