2.2 Charging Reader
The reader has an internal 7.2V lithium ion re-chargeable battery.
To charge the battery, follow these steps:
•
Fast Charge: Plug the Micro USB cable into the connector at the bottom of the reader,
then plug the USB connector into the AC power supply. Charging using this method will
take <6 hours with a healthy battery.
with the reader; please ensure you are using the correct adapter for your location.
•
Slow Charge: Plug the Micro USB connector of the cable into the connector at the bottom
of the reader, then plug the USB connector into a USB port of a PC. Charging using this
method will take ≤16 hours with a healthy battery.
Note: Water cannot enter the reader through the connector, but any moisture could damage the
terminals in the Micro USB cable if inserted while wet.
Ambient temperature during battery charging must be between 0°C (+32°F) and +40°C (+104°F)
with relative humidity between 35% and 85%, non-condensing.
The HPR Lite reader is not intended to be operated while the battery is charging. Should the
reader begin scanning while charging, the charge will be suspended and will restart after the
scanning operation is finished.
Please be aware that when using the reader in environments below freezing temperature, the
battery's ability to supply power will be reduced. This will reduce the reader's battery run-time
and possibly the maximum usable RF transmit power resulting in reduced reader performance.
Please ensure your reader is set to use power saving mode under these conditions to avoid
excessively loading the battery. See page 15, section 3.1 for more details.
Warning! Do not try to access or replace the internal battery. Contact Biomark for battery
replacement. Risk of fire if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
2.2.1 Battery Symbols
While charging, the battery icon becomes animated. The current level of charge is indicated by
the location of the flashing bars. For example, if the battery is at 50%, only two bars will be
animated.
The animation speed of each bar will change depending on the amount of charge the battery it is
currently receiving.
Note: Charging is internally suspended during tag scanning, but the charge icon continues to
flash.
