Calibrating the Battery

The MC50 battery requires periodic calibration to maintain an accurate calibration of the battery's gas gauge. To calibrate the battery,
deplete the battery completely from a full charge condition. Symbol recommends performing this once a week.

Charging Spare Batteries

Use one of the following accessories to charge spare batteries:
• Single Slot USB Cradle
• Four Slot Spare Battery Charger
• UBC Adapter.
To charge a spare battery:
1. Ensure the accessory used to charge the spare battery is connected to the appropriate power source (see
Accessories for setup information).
2. Insert the spare battery into the accessory's spare battery charging slot with the charging contacts on the battery aligned
with the charging pins in the charging slot, and gently press down on the battery to ensure proper contact.
The battery begins charging. The amber charge LED on the accessory lights to show the charge status. See
Accessories for charging indications for the accessory.
In the single slot cradle, the standard battery fully charges in 3.5 hours and the extended capacity battery fully charges in
approximately seven hours. Using other accessories, the standard battery fully charges in 2.5 hours and the extended capacity battery
fully charges in approximately six hours.

Resetting the Mobile Computer

If the mobile computer stops responding to input, reset it. There are two reset functions:
• A warm boot restarts the mobile computer by closing all running programs. Perform a warm boot first, as this saves all stored
records and entries. If the mobile computer still does not respond, perform a cold boot.
• A cold boot also restarts the mobile computer, but erases all stored records and entries in RAM, and returns formats,
preferences, and other settings to the factory default settings. Data saved in flash memory or a memory card is retained.
Never perform a cold boot unless a warm boot does not solve the problem.

Performing a Warm Boot

Press the reset button located below the battery release on the back of the mobile computer.
