The battery pack is the main power source for the terminal, and it charges
the backup power source when required. If the battery charge goes low,
you need to replace it with a charged battery pack or charge the battery
pack as soon as possible.
There are two ways to determine if the battery pack is low:
• The Battery status icon turns on and the terminal beeps once every 15
seconds. For help using the status icons, see "Learning About the Status
Icons" on page 21.
• Check the status of the battery pack using the Battery/PIC Status
diagnostic test. For help, see Chapter 4, "Running Diagnostics," in the
2400 Family system manual.
Note: While the battery is charging, do not use this diagnostic test to
determine when the battery is fully charged. To determine when the
battery is fully charged, use the status LEDs on the battery chargers.
You must fully charge the battery pack before you can use the terminal.
To charge the battery pack
• Place the battery pack in an empty slot in the Z2400 battery charger
(P/N Z2400A). The battery pack fully charges in 4 to 6 hours. For help,
see the documentation that came with your charger.
Or,
• Install the battery pack in the terminal. For help, see the next section,
"Installing the Battery Pack." Connect one end of the AC power supply
adapter cable to the AC power supply, and connect the other end of the
AC power supply adapter cable to the power port on the 243X. The
battery pack is fully charged in about 4 to 6 hours.
You can also use the powered vehicle dock (P/N 071695) (sold and
ordered separately) connected to an AC power supply to charge the
battery. For help, see the Trakker Antares 243X Vehicle Dock Installation
Instructions (P/N 071793).
Replace the battery pack with P/N 073152 only. The use of any other
battery pack may present a risk of fire or explosion.
Avertissement: Remplacez le bloc-batterie par la pièce réf. n° 073152
seulement. L'utilisation de tout autre bloc-batterie présente un risque
d'incendie ou d'explosion.
