Charging the Main Battery
The base powers the terminal and fully charges its main battery pack in
4 hours.
The base contains an intelligent battery charging system that protects the
battery from being damaged by overcharging. The unit senses when a
battery pack is fully charged and automatically switches to a trickle
charge that maintains the battery at full capacity. Therefore, terminals
may be stored in the base without damage to the terminals, battery
packs, or peripherals.
To check battery power, use the Power system setting; see Power on
page 7-14.
For more information about Honeywell Li-ion batteries, see Batteries on
page 3-12.
To Power a Terminal and Charge its Main Battery
1. Install the battery pack in the terminal; see Install the Main Battery
Pack on page 2-1.
2. Connect the base to the power supply provided by Honeywell.
3. Slide the terminal into the terminal well until the Dock LED lights
green to indicate that the terminal is properly seated. The battery
pack begins charging.
Ensure all components are dry prior to mating terminals/batteries with peripheral devices. Mating
wet components may cause damage not covered by the warranty.
Charging a Spare Battery in the Auxiliary Battery Well
The auxiliary battery well located on the back of the base charges a spare battery independently of the
terminal well. The Aux Battery LED on the front panel indicates the status of the battery in this well.
Charge time is 4 hours; see Auxiliary Battery Well on page 12-3.
1. Insert the end of the battery without the locking tab into the bottom of the auxiliary well opening.
2. Snap the battery into place with a hinging motion. The Aux Battery LED lights orange.
3. Use the AUX Battery LED to monitor the charging progress.
