Charging the Reader Battery

The reader battery must be fully charged before use. It takes approximately

three hours to charge a completely discharged battery. The LEDs on the top of

the reader indicate the charge status. See Charging Indications on page 22.

NOTICE

If you are charging the battery with a computer that uses Windows XP, you

must first install the Apriva USB driver. Failure to do so will drain the reader

battery. See Installing the Reader USB Driver on page 23.

You cannot charge the reader battery with computers that use Windows

Vista or Windows 7 operating systems. If your computer uses one of

these operating systems, you must use a wall charger to charge the battery.

To keep the reader functioning properly, make sure the battery level is

always at least 50%. If the reader battery is completely discharged (LEDs

do not illuminate when reader is powered on), charge the reader battery as

described in Charging a Completely Discharged Reader Battery on page 24.

To charge the reader battery:

Connect the USB cable from the PC/CHARGE port on the reader to the

USB port on the computer or a standard wall charger. Allow the battery

to charge for 20 to 30 minutes. When charging, the GREEN LED is

continuously lit with occasional quick flashes.
