9700 Mobile Computer (CE)
1.4.2. CHARGE BATTERIES
Due to shipment, it is likely that the main battery and backup battery won't be fully charged
when you receive the package. Before setting the mobile computer to work, charge the
main battery to full by direct charging via a power adapter (with the help of a Snap-on
Charging & Communication Cable or Charging & Communication Cradle).
Some key facts about charging batteries:
Charging Time

Main battery: It takes approximately 4 hours to charge the 3.3V, 3600mAh main battery, and
approximately 6 hours to charge the 3.3V, 5400mAh main battery. The battery charging LED
above the touchscreen lights red or orange during charging (depending on the battery level at
the moment), and lights green when the mobile computer is completely charged. See
LED for details about the LED indicator.

Backup battery: The backup battery is rechargeable by both the main battery and power
adapter. It takes about 5 hours to charge it to full, however it does not need to be fully charged
for the mobile computer to work.
Charging Temperature

It is recommended that batteries be charged at room temperature (18°C~25°C) for optimal
performance.

Charging stops when temperature drops below 0°C or exceeds 35°C. In this case the battery
charging LED will be continuously blinking in red.
Power Consumption

When all radios (802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth) are active on battery power, main battery level will
drop substantially.

In order to prevent the system from shutting down due to depletion of the main battery, we
suggest that you keep a fully charged battery for replacement or have the mobile computer
access the radios on external power.
