Charging Battery Via The Cradle - Metapace S-2 Hardware Manual

CHARGING BATTERY VIA THE CRADLE

The battery may not be charged to full for shipment. When you first receive the package,
you will need to charge the battery to full before using the scanner.
Note: (1) It takes approximately 5 hours to charge the battery to full (from the power
adaptor). It is recommended that the charging devices be operated at room
temperature (18°C to 25°C) for optimal performance.
(2) The charging devices will not charge the battery when the temperature drops
below 0°C or exceeds 40°C.
1) Install the battery to the scanner.
2) Seat the scanner in the cradle.
3) Connect the cradle to your computer or notebook via the USB or RS-232 cable.
RS-232: It is necessary to connect the power supply cord.
USB: When the cradle is solely on USB power, the current may be insufficient for
it to function normally. Therefore, we suggest connecting the power supply cord.
4) The LED for power indication on the cradle will become solid red.
5) The scanner LED will be flashing red during charging. When the charging is done, the
LED will turn off. When charging error occurs, the LED will turn solid red.
6) The LED for communications on the cradle will first become solid blue while
initializing. Refer to the table above for details on different stage of communications.
Warning: If the two pivot bolts are not tightened properly, charging error may occur.
The two pivot bolts need to be
tightened, or charging error may
occur.
