CAUTION Ensure that you follow the guidelines for battery safety described in Battery Safety Guidelines on page 6-1.

Charging the Main Battery and Memory Backup Battery

Before using the MC9190-G for the first time, charge the main battery until the amber charge indicator light remains
lit (see Table 1-1 on page 1-4 for charge status indications). The main battery fully charges in less than four hours.
The MC9190-G can be charged using a cradle, the CAM, or the MSR with the appropriate power supply.
The MC9190-G is also equipped with a memory backup battery which automatically charges from the main battery
whether or not the MC9190-G is operating or is in suspend mode. The memory backup battery retains data in
memory for at least 30 minutes when the MC9190-G's main battery is removed or fully discharged. When the
MC9190-G is used for the first time or after the memory backup battery has fully discharged, the memory backup
battery requires approximately 15 hours to fully charge. Do not remove the main battery from the MC9190-G for 15
hours to ensure that the memory backup battery fully charges. If the main battery is removed from the MC9190-G
or the main battery is fully discharged, the memory backup battery completely discharges in several hours.
When the main battery 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.
