Peripherals/Accessories for the Optimus 5900 RFID Terminal
The following items are sold separately and enhance your Optimus 5900 RFID terminal’s capabilities.
Optimus eBase
™
Device
The Optimus 5900 RFID eBase is used to charge the main battery, to power the battery charging system
in the terminal, and can be used to communicate data from the terminal to a PC/laptop via the Ethernet/
USB/RS-232 serial port.
A spare battery may also be charged in the battery charging well behind the terminal.
For more information, see Optimus 5900 RFID eBase Device (Model: 5900-EHB) on page 9-1.
Li-Ion Battery Packs
The Li-Ion battery pack provides the main power supply for the terminal. For more information, see Battery
Power on page 3-11.
For information on how to purchase these items, contact a Honeywell sales representative.
Battery Power
The intelligent battery technology inside the terminal features two types of battery power:
• The main battery pack on the back panel (see Main Battery Pack on page 3-11)
• The backup battery located inside the terminal (see Internal Backup Battery on page 3-14)
Both batteries work together to prevent data loss when the terminal is used over long periods of time.
Both batteries must be charged to full capacity before using the Optimus 5900 RFID for the first
time! Charge the main battery pack with the power supply cable until the LED turns green (red while
charging). The average charge time for a fully depleted main battery is 7 hours. It takes less time if the
battery has some charge.
Main Battery Pack
We recommend use of Honeywell Li-Ion battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may result in
damage not covered by the warranty.
The Optimus 5900 RFID has a Li-Ion 3.7V/5000 mAh/12.2 Wh battery pack.
The Li-Ion battery pack is the primary power source for the Optimus 5900 RFID terminal as well as the
internal backup battery.
