12.2. Battery Charging
The base completes a full charge of the battery pack in 5hours for the standard capacity
1800mAh pack and 8hours for the extended capacity 3600mAh pack on the handy terminal. .
In addition to charging, the base powers the terminal’s intelligent battery charging system, which
protects the battery from being damaged by overcharging. The terminal senses when a battery pack
is fully charged and automatically turns off the charger. If the battery voltage drops below the
charge threshold, the charger turns on again to maintain the battery at full capacity. As a result,
Handy Terminals may be stored in the base indefinitely without damage to the terminals, battery
packs, or peripherals. For prolonged storage, see Storage Guidelines on paragraph 4.20.
12.3. Power Supply
The power cable that ships with each terminal also powers the base.
