Charging & Communication - CipherLab 9200 Reference Manual

CHARGING & COMMUNICATION
The main battery may not be charged to full for shipment. When you first receive the kit
package, you will need to charge the main battery to full before using the mobile
computer. You may use the Snap-on Cable or Charging & Communication Cradle along
with a power adapter to charge the mobile computer.
Charging Time
Main battery: It takes approximately 4 hours to charge an empty battery to full. The
charging LED above the screen (located on the right) will light up in red while
charging and will turn green when charging is done.
When the main battery is removed, RTC retention will be maintained.
Charging Temperature
It is recommended to charge the battery at room temperature (18°C to 25°C) for
optimal performance.
Battery charging stops when the temperature drops below 0°C or exceeds 45°C.
Operation on Battery Power
When 802.11b/g, GSM/GPRS, and Bluetooth are all enabled on battery power, the
main battery charge will drop down substantially.
In order to prevent system shut down after the battery is drained out, we suggest
that you keep a fresh battery for replacement at all times or connect the mobile
computer to an external power.
USING WIRELESS NETWORKS
The mobile computer supports widely applied wireless technologies, Bluetooth and
802.11b/g, and is able to send/receive data in real time in an efficient way. Select
GSM/GPRS modules embedded for a total wireless solution for data and voice
communication.
