To verify your terminal is not drawing more current then supplied by the charging source:
1. Touch > Settings
charging source.
2. Check the Battery Current. If the current is positive, then charging current is going into the battery. If
the current is negative, the battery is discharging current and your terminal is drawing more current
than the charging source.
Note: The charging current is always less than source current due to the terminal being in operation.
Charging a Severely Low or Completely Discharged Battery
Battery Charge Status
Severely Low
Completely Discharged
Use one of the following options to charge a severely low or completely discharged battery.
1. Insert the battery into the auxiliary battery well of the HomeBase. When the auxiliary battery LED on
the HomeBase turns green, the battery is fully charged.
2. Dock the terminal into the charging well of a peripheral (e.g., HomeBase or ChargeBase). The
terminal starts to boot as soon as power is supplied by the base.
Note: To prevent the possible loss of unsaved data, do not remove the terminal from the base until the battery
has sufficiently charged. Touch the Start > Settings > System > Battery to view detailed information
on the status of the battery.
3. Charge the terminal from a wall power outlet using the USB Charge/Communication Cable and
power supply provided with your terminal. As the battery charges, the general notification LED
cycles through green, red, amber and off. The LED continues to cycle until the battery reaches a
safe charge threshold and the terminal begins to boot. The length of time before the battery reaches
a safe charge threshold varies depending on the extent of the battery discharge.
Note: If the general notification LED does not start to cycle after approximately 5 seconds when power is
applied, press the Power button once.
4. Charge the terminal from a USB host device (PC) using the USB Charge/Communication Cable.
Note: Inadequate source current may interfere with effective battery charging; see
Guidelines on page 3-11 for additional information.
As the battery charges, the general notification LED cycles through green, red, amber and off. The
LED continues to cycle until the battery reaches a safe charge threshold and the terminal begins to
boot. The length of time before the battery reaches a safe charge threshold varies depending on the
extent of the initial battery discharge level and the current supplied by the USB charging source.
Note: If the general notification LED does not start to cycle after approximately 5 seconds when power is
applied, press the Power button once.
