Practical Information
IV-
1- Charging the battery pack
A base station provided with the terminal recharges a spare battery pack or the battery pack
attached to the terminal.
The green indicator at front at the base indicates that a current is flowing into the battery
pack.
Warning
Before using the terminal for the first time, the
batteries must be fully charged. This is indicated
by a green light on the base which goes out when
this process is complete.
Fast charging base
Warning
Do not use a "fast charge" base if the terminal is returned to the base
after each transaction. The batteries may be damaged and their lifetime
reduced. A fast charge base should only be charged when the battery
is nearly or completely discharged.
If the terminal is placed on the charger after each transaction, a "slow
charge" base must be used to protect the battery.
• Do not forget to put the terminal down on its powered base at the end of the day in order
to allow for charging and data-collection.
• When charging an empty battery pack, it could take one or two minutes for the green light
to come on.
Vehicle base (Optional)
This base station is used when the terminal is put back on its base between each transaction.
It is a slow charge base so as not to damage the battery.
