Charging The Battery; Using The Cradle To Charge The Battery - Symbol PDT 8100 Series Product Reference Manual

Note: Ensure that the battery latches are in the up position while securing
the battery cover on the terminal.

Charging the Battery

Before using your terminal for the first time, charge the lithium-ion battery in the terminal for
approximately 2 1/2 hours. Also, when battery voltage is low, a warning message appears
indicating the battery needs to be charged. You can charge the battery using either the CRD
8100-1000S cradle or the Synchronization Cable.
Your terminal is equipped with a memory backup battery which automatically charges from
the fully-charged lithium-ion battery. This backup battery retains data in memory when the
terminal's battery is removed, and takes several hours to charge when you first use your
terminal.
Note: If you remove your lithium-ion battery before the backup battery is
fully charged, data may be lost. For this reason, DO NOT remove the
battery within the first ten hours of use.

Using the Cradle to Charge the Battery

To charge the terminal's battery using the CRD 8100-1000S cradle:
1. Connect the power supply to the power port on the back of the cradle, and the other
end of the power supply to a wall outlet.
