1.1.1 MAIN BATTERY
The mobile computer is fed by a rechargeable 3.7 V/4000 mAh Li-ion battery pack. When
the mobile computer is turned off, it takes approx. 5 hours t o charge it to full f rom the
power adapter (using RS-232 cable or cradle) or approx. 14 hours from the USB cable (at
500 mA).
For power-saving purpose, always turn off the backlight while working in a w ell-lit area.
When the backlight is on for extended periods of time, the main battery will become lo w
sooner than expected.

are two ways to monitor the battery charge:
 Examine the level of the 4-bar battery icon on the screen
