Battery Charging Indicators
The mobile computer’s amber charge LED, located in the Indicator LED Bar, shows the status of the battery
charging in the mobile computer. See Table 1-2 on page 1-7 for charging status indications.
The battery usually charges in less than four hours.
CAUTION Do not place coins, keys or paper clips in cradle well.
CAUTION Use only a Symbol approved power supply output rated 12 VDC and minimum 9 A. Use of an
alternative power supply will void the product warranty and may cause product damage. See
Appendix C, Regulatory for the power supply regulatory compliance statement.
NOTE When a mobile computer with Microsoft Mobile 5.0 is placed in the cradle and an ActiveSync connection
is made, the WLAN and WWAN radios (if applicable) are disabled. This is a Microsoft security feature to
prevent connection to two networks at the same time.
