1.7.1 INTERFACE CABLE OPTIONS

For charging via the USB cable, the standard charging current is 500 mA. However, we
recommend that you connect the power adaptor to speed up charging the battery.
If you connect the mobile computer to a USB hub, the charging current may be
insufficient. In that case, change the charging current to 100 mA after connecting the
USB cable. It will take a longer time to charge to full. Refer to
Current.

Warning: The mobile computer is not allowed to function when it is solely on USB
power and without a battery loaded. It will display a warning message
"Battery Missing" along with an audible alert. In that case, you should
install the battery before restarting.
