Changing the battery during operation
The mobile reader has a buffer battery. This enables battery replacement during operation
without the need to turn off the reader or close apps - provided the battery replacement is
completed within a few seconds (about 5 s, max. 10 s) and the reader has been in operation
for at least 30 minutes beforehand.
In battery replacement during operation, the display is disabled for energy-saving reasons. All
other device functions, in particular the processor, memory and WLAN, remain operational. In
addition, the device clock continues counting time for several days even without battery.
