3.2 Charging the Handheld Computer Battery
The Multi-Dock supplies DC power to enable the handheld
computer internal fast charger. Normally, it takes from 2.0 to 4.0
hours to fully charge the handheld computer internal battery.
Slide the handheld computer into the cradle portion of the •
dock until tightly latched.
The battery charge LED on the handheld computer will •
illuminate indicating that the unit has external power and
battery charging will begin. It is safe to leave the handheld
computer in the Multi-Dock cradle while it is not in use
– the battery will not be overcharged.
When installed in the cradle of the Multi-Dock, the handheld’s
battery charge LED (handheld upper left) will illuminate to
indicate the unit has external power and may charge the internal
battery.
Note: Battery charging continues whether the handheld com-
puter is switched on or off.
The handheld LCD ashes an icon when the battery is charging.
During charge, the handheld LED will be ashing green. Then it
will turn to steady green when fully charged.
If the battery is faulty or charged beyond operating tempera-
tures, the LED is red.
The handheld terminal stops applying power to the battery when
it is fully charged – there is no risk of overcharge if the battery
remains in the charge slot.
