Charging the Mobile Computer Battery

Charging the Main Battery and Memory Backup Battery

Before using the mobile computer for the first time, charge the main battery in the mobile computer for 24
hours, using a cradle or by connecting the power supply to the Cable Adapter Module (CAM).
NOTE To ensure the quickest charging time, turn the mobile computer off while charging.
The mobile computer 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 mobile computer's
battery is removed. When first using the mobile computer, it takes about 24 hours to charge the backup battery
from the main battery.
NOTE Removing the lithium-ion battery before the backup battery is fully charged risks data loss. DO NOT
remove the battery within the first 24 hours of use.
