2.1 Preparing The 7535/7530 For Operation

Typically, 7535/7530 hand-helds are configured at the factory and arrive ready for
use. Although these hand-helds are equipped with an internal Compact Flash and
SD I/O slot, these slots are not intended for user modification. If a device needs to
be changed or added in these slots, contact qualified Psion Teklogix personnel.
Refer to Appendix A: Support Services And Worldwide Offices for the service
number closest to you.

2.1.1 Equipment You Need To Get Started

You'll need:
• A compatible battery charger, docking station or portable docking module
(PDM) with power supply.
• An operating wireless network (if you are not operating the equipment in
batch mode).
• A medium Phillips head screwdriver.

2.1.2 Charging The Battery

Important: The 7535/7530 uses a high capacity Lithium-Ion battery. It is crit-
ical that you review the battery safety guidelines in "Lithium-Ion
Battery Safety Precautions" on page 323 before charging the
battery.
Batteries shipped from the factory are not charged. They must be fully charged prior
to use. Full capacity may not be reached until at least 5 full charge/discharge cycles
have been performed.
Batteries can be charged using a gang charger or the unit's internal charger. When
using the internal charger, a suitable power source is required. All chargers and
docking stations are described in Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & Accessories
beginning on page 321.
Important: For 7535 hand-helds, updating software to PCON version
100835C1 or later automatically resets the battery's parameters.
The battery gauge will display 0% capacity only until the battery is
recalibrated. However, the operator can safely use the battery
because a 'low battery' warning based on voltage (at approxi-
mately 6.8 volts) will be displayed, allowing sufficient time to
change the battery.
