Charging the Battery
The Omnii Hand-Held Computer operates with lithium-ion battery pack Model ST3001. Preparing the unit for
operation requires that the battery pack be charged and installed in the hand-held.
Batteries shipped from the factory are charged to approximately 40% of capacity. Lithium-ion battery packs
must be fully charged before use. These batteries can be charged with a variety of chargers and docking
stations. Currently the following are available:
•
The Snap Module is a mobile adaptor for the Omnii. Three models are available — see
page
4-7.
•
The AC Wall Adaptor operates as an AC power source and also charges the battery installed in the unit —
see
"AC Wall Adaptor - Models ST1050 and ST1050-AR" on page
•
The Vehicle Power Outlet Adaptor powers the Omnii and recharges the battery using power drawn from
your vehicle's automotive power outlet — see
page
4-9.
•
The Desktop Docking Stations operate as both chargers and docking stations. Operating as a charger,
both the battery installed in the Omnii and a spare battery can be charged. Priority is given to charging the
hand-held's battery. See
Normally it takes 3 to 4 hours to charge a battery. The Omnii intelligent charging system protects the battery
from over-charging by terminating the charge process when the battery is at maximum capacity.
