Charging the Main Battery and Memory Backup Battery

Before using the mobile computer for the first time, charge the main battery until the amber charge
indicator light remains lit (see
less than four hours. The mobile computer can be charged using a cradle, the CAM with a charging
cable, or the MSR with the appropriate power supply.
The mobile computer is equipped with a memory backup battery which automatically charges from
the fully-charged main battery. When the mobile computer is used for the first time, the backup
battery requires approximately 15 hours to fully charge. This is also true any time the backup battery
is discharged, which occurs when the main battery is removed for several hours. The backup battery
retains data in memory for at least 30 minutes when the mobile computer's main battery is removed.
When the mobile computer reaches a very low battery state, the combination of main battery and
backup battery retains data in memory for at least 72 hours.
Do not remove the main battery within the first 15 hours of use. If the main
battery is removed before the backup battery is fully charged, data may be
lost.
The following accessories can be used to charge batteries.
• Cradles: The mobile computer slips into the cradles for charging the battery in the mobile
computer (and spare batteries, where applicable). For detailed cradle setup and charging
procedures see:
• Single Slot Serial/USB Cradle on
• Four Slot Ethernet Cradle on

• Accessories: The mobile computer's snap-on accessories provide charging capability, when
used with one of the accessory charging cables. For detailed snap-on setup and charging
procedures see:
