Backup Battery
Before using the FR6076 for the first time, charge the main battery until the amber Charging/Battery Status LED
remains lit (see Table 1-2 on page 1-7 for charge status indications). To charge the FR6076, use a cable or a cradle
with the appropriate power supply. For information about the accessories available for the FR6076, see Chapter 6,
Accessories.
The FR6076 is equipped with a memory backup battery which automatically charges from the fully-charged main
battery. When using the FR6076 for the first time, the backup battery requires approximately 36 hours to fully charge.
This is also true any time the backup battery is discharged, which occurs when the main battery is removed for several
hours. The backup battery retains RAM data in memory for at least 15 minutes (at room temperature) when the
FR6076's main battery is removed. When the FR6076 reaches a very low battery state, the combination of main
battery and backup battery retains RAM data in memory for at least 48 hours.
To charge the main battery, use either a charging cable or a cradle. For cable and cradle setup and charging
procedures refer to the FR6076 Integrator Guide.
