Keep in mind also that, along with the battery, the EP10 is equipped with internal, super-
capacitors that preserves data stored on the EP10 for a short period of time while the battery
is swapped.
2.2.4.1 Chargers and Docking Stations
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 No. R3055) operates as an AC power source and when
plugged in, also charges the battery installed in the EP10. (see page 237)
Desktop Docking Station (Model No. RV4000) operates as both a charger and a docking
station. Operating as a charger, both the battery installed in the EP10 and a spare battery
can be charged simultaneously. (see page 225)
Quad Docking Station (Model No. RV4004) can charge the battery of up to four EP10s
inserted in the docking station. (see page 230)
Quad Battery Charger (Model No. RV3004) can charge up to four batteries inserted in
the charger (see TBD)
USB & Charger Snap Module (Model No. RV4001) allows you to connect a Mini-B
USB cable and a power cable to the EP10. (see TBD)
DE9 RS232 & charger Snap Module (Model No. V4002) provides an RS232 connec-
tion and charge power to the EP10. (see TBD)
Note: Do not leave a spare battery to charge for more than 72 hours. Charging for more
than 72 hours may damage the battery or lead to charge capacity reduction.
Important: If the battery is overheated (>60° C) or if the battery capacity is very low
(<100 mAh), the unit will not switch on when the Power key is pressed.
Under the above conditions, when AC power is applied, the EP10 will still
refuse to power up; instead, a yellow LED will begin blinking and until the
battery is replaced, or in the case of low battery capacity, the battery is
charged to an acceptable level, the EP10 will not switch on.
Important: FOR DETAILED INFORMATION about chargers and docking stations,
refer to Chapter 6: “Peripheral Devices & Accessories” beginning on
page 215.
