32.5.1.2 Using NiCd or NiMH batteries
If the users are competent, familiarise them with the instructions in Part 2
on recharging batteries and using the HOT key, and provide them with AC
adaptors.
If the units will be used by non-technical operators exclusively with NiCd or
NiMH batteries, set each one up as follows:
•
Fit the rechargeable batteries and connect the AC Adaptor.
•
Use the UTIL Non-volatile configuration option to select the
battery charging type - Nicad or NiMH. The selection you make will be
stored in the unit's non-volatile memory.
•
Use the HOT key power option (see Part 2) to set Battery Charging
Support to Enabled:
•
Install the application(s) on each unit.
•
You may wish to fully charge each unit immediately before issuing it by
leaving it to charge for 15 hours.
•
Give out the units fitted with NiCd or NiMH batteries and provide AC
adaptors. Do not provide Alkaline batteries. Ensure the correct
battery type is provided, do not mix NiCd and NiMH batteries.
•
Tell users about low power warnings, so they will know when to
recharge. Make sure they know how to recharge and do so regularly.
Tell users not to remove the battery cap.
If users do not need to recharge batteries while away from base, you need
not provide the AC adaptor; instead, the user's technical support
department could provide all battery charging facilities for them. For
example, they could recharge all units overnight, at the end of each day.
