• Fast charge the internal battery.
• Fast charge the spare battery pack (see Figure 6.4 on page 223).
• Supply Type A and Type B USB connectivity to the Ikôn (see Figure 6.5 on page 225).
The desktop docking station provides sufficient power to concurrently support all the
above functions.
The CH4000 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 CH4000 uses careful charge algorithms designed to maximize battery life while ensur-
ing 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 31 for more information regarding battery capacity, charge times and battery life, for
the Ikôn battery. See “Charging The Spare Battery” on page 224 for spare battery
charge information.

charge only when the battery temperature falls between 0°C and 40°C
(32°F to 104°F).
