Charging Your Handheld Battery - Blackberry 6710 Getting Started Manual

Charging your handheld battery

Your handheld is powered by an external, removable, rechargeable
lithium battery. Before you operate your handheld, familiarize
yourself with proper battery use and care. Refer to "Important safety
information" on page 5 for more information. Before you can use
your handheld, you must charge its battery.
You can charge your handheld battery using the cradle or the travel
charger.
Charging your handheld battery using the
cradle
To charge your handheld battery using the cradle, connect the
power adapter cord to the cradle's serial port connector, connect the
cradle cable to an available COM port on your computer, insert the
appropriate attachment piece, and then plug the power adapter
cord into a wall outlet.
If you only want to charge your handheld battery using the cradle
and you do not want to use the desktop software, you do not need
to connect the cradle to an available COM port on your computer.
Warning: When you connect your handheld to your computer, use only
the cradle that is provided by Research In Motion Limited for use with
your handheld model. Refer to "Important safety information" on page
5 for more information on the appropriate cradle for your handheld.
Use the appropriate power supply as specified on the label that is
located on the bottom of your handheld cradle.
Using the power adapter that is provided for your RIM 857 Wireless
Handheld™, your RIM 957 Wireless Handheld™, or your BlackBerry 5800
Series handheld with the cradle that is provided for your BlackBerry
6700 Series handheld will render the cradle inoperable.
