After unpacking your unit:
Visually inspect the charger for possible damage.
Install the IEC power cord and apply power.
6.4.3 Power Consumption Considerations
Check to ensure the mains circuit supplying chargers and/or docking stations is adequate for
the load, especially if several chargers and docking stations are being powered from the
same circuit.
Quad docking station can consume up to 1.9A @ 120 VAC or 1.5 A @ 240 VAC.
6.5 Desktop Docking Station – Model No. RV4000
The RV4000 desktop docking station is a desktop model designed to:
Fast charge the internal battery.
Fast charge the spare battery pack (see Figure 6.4 on page 226)
Supply Type A and Type B USB connectivity to the EP10 (see Figure 6.5 on page 228).
The RV4000 storage temperature is -30° C to +60° C (-22° F to 140° F). Operating tempera-
ture and humidity are: 5 - 95% non-condensing and 0° C to 40°C (32° F to 104° F).
The desktop docking station provides sufficient power to concurrently support all the above
functions. The RV4000 uses careful charge algorithms designed to maximize battery life
while ensuring the shortest possible charge time. The charger supports proprietary Psion
Teklogix Smart Batteries and handles a range of voltages and charge algorithms. See “The
Battery” on page 12 for battery capacity, charge times and battery life for the EP10 battery.
See “Charging a Spare Battery” on page 227 for spare battery charge information.
Important: The RV4000 desktop docking station is shipped with its own user manual. It
is critical that it be reviewed for additional information and updates.
Note: To preserve battery integrity, the desktop docking station will proceed with a charge
only when the battery temperature falls between 0° C and 40° C (32° F to 104° F).
