NOTE
Rechargeable battery packs are not initially charged. Therefore the
first operation to perform is to charge them. See below.
4.1 CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
The battery pack autonomy varies according to factors, such as the frequency of
barcode scanning, RF usage, etc.
When the battery pack is low, the LED positioned at the right side of the display
blinks red.
It is possible to recharge the battery pack by using the PG5-20 MiniUSB AC/DC
Power Supply directly connected to the Datalogic Skorpio™.
Alternatively, it is also possible to recharge the battery pack by using the
Datalogic Skorpio™ Single USB Cradle or one of the Datalogic Skorpio™/F-COLOR
cradles (even when not connected to the host).
During the charging process the LED positioned at the right side of the display is red
constant. Once the charging process has been completed this LED is green constant
(see par. 3.5).
If the battery pack is removed from the mobile computer, it can be recharged by
inserting it into the MBC8600 Multi-Battery Charger.
NOTE
The battery pack autonomy varies according to many factors, such as
the frequency of barcode scanning, RF usage, battery life, storage,
environmental conditions, etc.
CAUTION
If the battery pack is new or has not been recharged for a long time,
it is necessary to perform two or three charging and discharging
cycles (complete use) before it can reach its maximum charge
capability.
The maximum time required to recharge a completely run-down
battery pack is 4 hours if recharged into the mobile computer.
