Practical Information

1- Charging the battery pack
A base station is provided with the terminal which recharges the standalone battery pack or the
terminal when placed on the base station.
The green indicator at front at the base indicates that a current is flowing into the battery pack.
Warning
Before using the terminal for the first time, the
batteries must be fully charged. This is indicated
by a green light on the base which goes out when
this process is complete.
0 Fast charging base
Warning
Do not use a "fast charge" if the terminal is returned to the base after
each transaction. The batteries may be damaged and their lifetime
reduced. A fast charge battery should only be charged when empty.
If the terminal is placed on the charger after each transaction, a "slow
charge" must be used to protect the battery.
• The charge is managed in order to optimise the life of your battery pack and to charge it as
quickly as possible in the best conditions.
• If the terminal is removed from the base for more than 10 seconds, the charge cycle is
reinitiated. If it is removed for less than 10 seconds, the charge cycle continues.
• Do not forget to put the terminal down on its powered base at the end of the day in order to
allow for charging and data-collection.
• During the charging of empty battery pack, it could take one or two minutes for the green light
to come on.
0 Vehicle base
This base station is used when the terminal is supposed to be laid on its base between each
transaction. It uses slow charge so as not to damage the battery.
