Stand Alone Charger
The stand alone charger is an optional charging device used to charge a
Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery. This charger allows you to charge
an additional battery for the mobile computer.
The operating temperature for this device is +10ºC to +40ºC (+50ºF
to +104ºF). Operating the stand alone charger outside of this
temperature range may damage the battery.
To charge a battery
1 Insert the appropriate end of the power cord into the power port on
the stand alone charger; insert the other end of the power cord into
an electrical wall outlet.
2 Align the connectors and place the battery onto the charger.
The charger automatically begins fast charging the battery. At
moderate temperatures, around 21°C (70ºF), the battery will be fully
charged in approximately three to four hours. Under extremely cold
or hot temperatures, however, the battery can take up to 16 hours to
charge.
CAUTION There are no user-replaceable parts within the stand
alone charger, so do not open the charger case. The stand alone
charger is internally protected. It resets automatically if there is a
power fault.
