Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & Accessories Indicators The RV4000 desktop docking station is a desktop model designed to: • • Fast charge the internal battery. Fast charge the spare battery pack (see Figure 7.3 RV4000 Desktop Docking Station – Front View on page 184) • Supply micro-USB connection. The RV4000 storage temperature is -30° C to +60° C (-22° F to 140° F). Operating temperature and humidity are: 5 - 95% non-condensing and 0° C to 40°C (32° F to 104° F).

Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & Accessories Cleaning the RV4000 7.5.2.2 Charging a Spare Battery Note: Do not store a spare battery in a charger for more than 72 hours. Doing so may damage the battery or reduce its charge capacity. • Insert the spare battery in the charge well at the back of the RV4000, aligning the contacts on the battery with the contacts in the spare battery charge well. A full charge takes between 3 and 4 hours for the battery.

Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & Accessories Cleaning the RV4004 7.6.4 Cleaning the RV4004 Important: Do not immerse the unit in water. Dampen a soft cloth with mild detergent to wipe the unit clean. • • Use only mild detergent or soapy water on a slightly damp cloth to clean the RV4004. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents or strong chemicals for cleaning. The plastic case is susceptible to harsh chemicals. The plastic is partially soluble in oils, mineral spirits and gasoline.

Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & Accessories Operator Controls The charger can consume up to 1.5 A at 100-240 VAC. Check to ensure the mains circuit supplying the charger is adequate for this loading (especially if several chargers are being powered from the same circuit). After unpacking the unit: • • Visually check the charger for damage. Install the IEC power cord and apply power.

Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & Accessories Bluetooth Peripherals Because imagers generally have a shorter depth of field than laser scanners, some practise may be required to find the optimal distance from the types of bar codes being scanned. Although the imager includes illumination LEDs, ambient light will help the imager decode the bar codes, especially if the bar code is far from the EP10. Important: Keep in mind that the imager scanner is a camera, and the LED illumination is a flash.
