BATTERY

The main battery may not be charged to full for shipment. Charge the main battery to full

before using the mobile computer for the first time.
Main battery: The main battery powers the mobile computer to work. It takes

approximately 4 hours to charge an empty main battery to full. The charging LED above
the screen will light up in red while charging and will turn green when charging is
complete.
When the main battery is removed, RTC retention will be maintained for at least 30

minutes.
Backup battery: The backup battery is mounted on the main board. Its role is to

temporarily keep the mobile computer in suspension when the main battery is drained
out so data in DRAM will be retained. The backup battery takes approximately 3.5 hours
to charge to full by the main battery or power adapter.
It is recommended to charge the battery at room temperature (18°C to 25°C) for optimal

performance.
Battery charging stops when ambient temperature drops below 0°C or exceeds 35°C.

In order to prevent system from shutting down after the battery is drained out, keep a

fresh battery for replacement at all times, or connect the mobile computer to an external
power.
If there are drippings or dust on the device or battery pack, wipe them away with a soft

clean cloth before battery replacement.
Turn off the power before battery replacement.

If you want to put away the mobile computer for a period of time, remove the battery

pack from the mobile computer's battery compartment. Store the mobile computer and
battery pack separately.
Recycle batteries in a proper way for the green-environment issue.
