Charging the Main Battery and Memory Backup Battery

Before using the reader for the first time, connect the reader to the optional power supply (see
1-8) and charge the battery until the amber charge indicator light remains lit (see
status indications). After the initial charge cycle, charge time is less than four hours.
The reader is equipped with a memory backup battery which automatically charges from the fully-charged main
battery. When the reader is used for the first time, the backup battery requires approximately 15 hours to fully
charge. This is also true any time the backup battery is discharged, which occurs when the main battery is
removed for several hours. The backup battery retains data in memory for at least 30 minutes when the main
battery is removed. When the reader reaches a very low battery state, the combination of main battery and backup
battery retains data in memory for at least 72 hours.
NOTE Do not remove the main battery within the first 15 hours of use. If the main battery is removed before the
backup battery is fully charged, data may be lost.

•
