Charging Temperature

Charge batteries in temperatures from 0
charging is intelligently controlled by the EDA and the charging accessory in order to ensure safe operation
and optimize long-term battery life.
To accomplish this, for small periods of time, the EDA or accessory alternately enables and disables battery
charging to keep the battery at acceptable temperatures. The EDA or accessory indicates when charging is
disabled due to abnormal temperatures via its LED. See

VCD7000 Vehicle Cradle

This section describes how to use a VCD7000 vehicle cradle with the EDA. For cradle installation and
communication setup procedures refer to the MC7090CN Integrator Guide.
Once installed in a vehicle, the cradle:
holds the EDA securely in place
•
provides power for operating the EDA
•
provides a serial port for data communication between an EDA and an external device (e.g., a printer)
•
re-charges the battery in the EDA
•
re-charges a standard capacity or extended capacity spare battery.
•

Charging the EDA Battery

Insert the EDA into the vehicle cradle to begin charging. A click indicates that the EDA button release locking
mechanism is enabled and the EDA is locked in place.
