3.2.4 Charging The Battery
Batteries shipped from the factory are charged to approximately 40% of capacity. They must
be fully charged prior to use.
Keep in mind also that, along with the battery, the iKôn PDA is equipped with internal,
super-capacitors that preserves data stored on the unit for a short period of time while the
battery is swapped.

Lithium-Ion battery packs must be charged before use. These batteries can be charged with a
variety of chargers and docking stations. These include:
• AC wall adaptor (Model # ??PS1050-G1) ??– operates as an AC power source and
when plugged in, also charges the battery installed in the unit.
• Desktop Docking Station (Model # ??WA4003-G2) – ??operates as both a charger and a
docking station. Operating as a charger, both the battery installed in the PDA and a spare
battery can be charged simultaneously.
• Quad Docking Station – (Model # ?? can charge the battery of up to four iKôn PDAs
inserted in the docking station.
• Single Battery Charger (Model # ?? WA3001-G1) – charges a single battery.
It can take up to 4 hours to charge a battery. The iKôn PDA intelligent charging system pro-
tects the battery from over-charging by terminating the charge process when the battery is at
maximum capacity.
