  • Page 26: Charge The Battery

    Battery Charge the Battery The rechargeable battery pack is less than half of full charge when delivered. Charge the battery with the USB cable or with the single dock, before using the Skorpio X4 terminal. During the charging process the charging LED positioned at the top left side of the display glows red constantly.

  • Page 27: Charge With The Single Slot Dock

    Battery Charge with the Single Slot Dock You can also charge an additional battery pack by inserting it into the rear slot of the dock. The Skorpio X4 may get warm during charging; this is normal and does not mean a malfunction. NOTE By default, the battery pack is disconnected at the factory to avoid damage due to excessive draining.
  • Page 28 Battery Avoid storing batteries for long periods in a state of full charge or very low charge. We recommend charging the battery pack every two to three months to keep its charge at a moderate level to CAUTION maximize battery life. Annual replacement of rechargeable battery pack avoids possible risks or abnormalities and ensures maximum performance.

  • Page 29: Replace The Battery

  • Page 30 Use specified charger only. Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of CAUTION batteries as required by local authorities. Use only Datalogic approved batteries and accessories for battery charging. Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
  • Page 31 To power the cradle, use only a Datalogic approved power supply. The use of an alternative power supply will void the product warranty, may cause product damage and may cause heat, an explosion, or fire.
  • Page 32 Battery Do not short-circuit the battery pack contacts connecting the positive terminal and negative terminal. This might happen, for example, when you carry a spare battery pack in your pocket or purse; accidental short– WARNING circuiting can occur when a metallic object such as a coin, clip, or pen causes direct connection of the contacts of the battery pack (these look like metal strips on the battery pack).
  • Page 33 Battery If your device stops working for any reason, do not use its battery on other electronic devices without a prior check and approval by an Authorised Repair Centre. Do not replace the battery pack when the device is WARNING turned on.
