Chapter 3. Power system
Charging the Lithium-Ion Battery Pack
The optional Falcon 4210 Docking Station is a convenient accessory for daily use
of the 4210. The docking station has a built-in circuit that can fully charge the
Lithium-Ion battery pack in about 3 hours. Or, when using the included Charging/
RS232 Cable the charging time of the battery pack is also about 3 hours.

Charging the Main and Backup Battery for the First Time

Note: Before using the 4210 for the first time, charge the unit for 14 hours to
fully charge the empty Lithium backup battery. Operating the 4210 for the first
time without the AC adapter, and without fully charging the Lithium Backup
Battery may result in loss of data stored in RAM memory.
Note: Backing-up data by Lithium battery only without the main battery installed
in the battery compartment may take as long as 2 hours. Therefore, in order to
prevent data protection failure due to backup battery failure, do not leave the
4210 without the rechargeable battery pack installed, or without connection to AC
power for an extended period of time.
It may take up to 48 hours to backup data when the 4210 is automatically shut
down because of low battery power while the depleted batteries are still installed in
the battery compartment.
