Recharging Batteries; Normal Operation Temperature Ranges - Honeywell MX7 Tecton Reference Manual

Recharging Batteries

The Cold Storage battery pack can be recharged to full capacity while in a Cold Storage MX7 Tecton connected to an external
power source and also while the Cold Storage battery pack is inserted in the charging bay in a powered MX7 Tecton desk
cradle. The battery pack temperature must be above 10°C (50°F) before re-charging can begin.
Battery packs in the Battery Charger begin charging when the battery pack temperature is between 10°C (50°F) and 40°C
(100°F).
To charge the Cold Storage battery pack to full capacity, the Battery Charger firmware must be at V1.07 or greater. The
firmware version is noted on the battery charger label on the bottom of the device.

The Battery Charger and AC adapter are not designed to operate in a freezer or cold storage environment. Please refer to the
MX7 Tecton Battery Charger Guide for instruction and technical information.
Hot-swapping the Cold Storage Battery
The Cold Storage mobile device, with a fully charged Super-cap battery, retains data during a main battery hot-swap at -30°C (-
22°F) for at least 90 seconds. The temperature of the fully charged replacement Cold Storage main battery must be +10°C
(14°F), or above.

Normal Operation Temperature Ranges

In the freezer where the temperature ranges between –30°C to -18°C (-22°F to 0°F).
l
In the loading dock where temperature ranges between 0°C to 5°C (32°F to 41°F) with the relative humidity at 65%
l
Moving between the freezer and a loading/unloading area where the temperature transitions from -30°C to 5°C (-22°F to
l
41°F).
