Charging the Battery

Charge the battery fully before using the terminal. Lithium-Ion batteries charge fully in 2
hours or less in the terminal using the cradle. A spare battery can be charged in the cradle in
approximately 4 hours.To prevent overcharging, an internal monitoring circuit shuts off
power to the battery once it reaches full capacity.

Charging the Battery in Cradle

cradle.

a battery installed.

" For the CRD 7500 single- and four-slot cradle, connect the cradle's power supply
jack to the power connector on the back of the cradle. Connect the power supply
plug to a standard electrical outlet.
" For the VCD 7500 vehicle cradle, connect the power supply to the power jack on
the side of the cradle. Verify that the power cable is connected to a power source.
2. Insert the terminal in the cradle. The terminal powers on and the terminal's battery
charging LED turns yellow.

fully charged, the LED switches to solid green.
