CHAPTER TWO – GETTING STARTED

Note that every charge/discharge cycle has an effect on the rechargeable

battery’s ampere-hour capacity, so that the fully charged battery, which is charged

many times before, runs down more rapidly in use than the battery just brought into

use. After 500 charge/discharge cycles, if the battery has been run with care

enough, the battery’s ampere-hour capacity is still more than two-thirds of its

original one. However, the charge/discharge cycle is a conception being not

unambiguous. Accordingly, between short operating periods it is not reasonable to

recharge the battery.

Note that ambient temperature has an effect on how long the fully charged Li-

ion battery is able to power your device. A rule of thump is that the colder is using

conditions the shorter is operating time of the device powered by the fully charged

battery.

Note that if the battery runs down, do not leave the device with the flat battery

or the battery which has run down lying idle without recharging the battery,

because the battery may be overdischarged due to self discharge. After

overdischarging the battery does not preserve its performance properties. In the

worst-case scenario, the battery is damaged and cannot store energy any longer.

Note that if you do not use your NORDIC ID PL3000 for a long time, remove

the battery from its battery chamber. Never store the battery in the device.

Note that the battery may not be flat nor be fully charged for long-time storage.

The ideal charge is about 60% of the battery’s full capacity.

CHARGING PL3000

Before Charging Battery, Assemble Device Cradle

Put charger-rest in its position on charger-

body

1. Before you begin,

check that the set bolt of

the charger-rest is loose

enough, but not off the

charger-rest

2. Put the charger-rest

against the charger-body

by inserting the head of

the bolt into the charger-

body through the hole at

the point for the

attachment of the rest
