Powering the Optimus 5900 RFID eBase Device
The terminal requires 5 volts DC input for communication and battery charging; the power adapter on the
power cable converts the voltage from the power source to 5 volts DC. Only power adapter cables from
Honeywell convert the voltage appropriately.
1. Attach the plug adapter to the power adapter (if not already attached).
2. Plug the power cable into the power source.
3. Plug the connector into the DC power jack on the back panel. The base is now powered.
When a terminal is properly seated, the base powers the terminal, charges the terminal’s main battery
pack, and launches ActiveSync (see ActiveSync Communication on page 7-1).
Honeywell recommends that you leave the base connected to its power source at all times, so that it is
always ready to use.
Charging the Main Battery
The base powers the terminal and fully charges its main
battery pack in an average of 7 1/2 hours for a fully depleted
battery. It takes less time if the battery has some charge.
As battery packs charge, the charging circuitry follows the two-
step charging process (CC-CV) that is recommended for Li-Ion
batteries. The process monitors changes in temperature,
current, and voltage.
Inserting a Terminal
1. Install the battery pack in the terminal; see Install the
Main Battery on page 2-1.
2. Power the base; see Powering the Optimus 5900 RFID
eBase Device on page 9-4.
3. Slide the terminal into the terminal well making certain
that the terminal is seated properly.
4. The battery pack begins charging.
Make sure the terminal is dry before placing it in the base.
Do NOT place a wet terminal in the base! Doing so may cause damage not covered by the warranty.
Charging a Spare Battery
The 5900-EHB charger is designed for use with battery pack models BP08-000640 (standard Li-poly 3.7
V, 5000 mAh) manufactured for Honeywell International Inc. and to be used with Optimus 5900 model
terminals.
