6.2 FLAT BATTERY
If the rechargeable battery is at a level where safe data entry cannot be
guaranteed the terminal will prevent the operator from entering data and a
“Flat Battery” message will be displayed whenever data entry is attempted.
The terminal should be placed back in its charger and the battery allowed to
charge. Alternatively, the battery could be replaced with a spare fully
charged battery.
DATA WIIL NOT BE LOST IF THE BATTERY RUNS OUT COMPLETELY.
6.3 MEMORY FULL
If the memory has insufficient space to make another entry the “Memory
Full” message will be displayed. If this happens ensure that the terminal is
in communication range of a link unit to allow the system to extract the data
and therefore free up memory. While this is happening the % meter in the
lower right corner of the display will be seen to decrement as each message
is sent.
7. CHARGING
There is no on/off switch on the terminal. It is intended that it is either in use
or on charge. No harm will be done to the battery if the terminal is left on
charge for indefinite periods.
To charge the terminal place it in the charging bracket so that it is sitting with
the display showing and the spring of the charging bracket against the
keypad. After a second has elapsed the terminal will beep and the message
“CHG1” or “CHG3” will be displayed. These messages indicate that the
terminal is charging.
The charging cycle and the meaning of the “CHG” messages is as follows.
CHG1 The battery is very discharged and is being slow charged.
When sufficient charge has been put into the battery it will
switch to fast charge.
CHG3 The battery is being fast charged. When the battery is fully
charged it will switch to trickle charge.
CHG4 The battery is fully charged and is now being trickle charged to
maintain its charge.
