Maintaining the Terminal
Caution
The optional communications cradles are NOT certified for use in potential-
ly hazardous environments. To charge an intrinsically safe PDT 6800 Series
terminal in a cradle, remove the terminal from the potentially hazardous en-
vironment before charging.
Battery Charging with the PC Adapter
Refer to Chapter 2, Accessories Setup, for instructions on setting up the PC Adapter for
charging.
Battery charging begins automatically when power is supplied to the PC Adapter. Fully
charging a battery using the PC Adapter requires 7 hours.
Other Charging Options
You have the option of charging battery packs in the UBC 1000 or 2000 Charger. Refer to
the documentation for the charger for more information.
Charging the Lithium Ion Battery Pack
Note: Placing the terminal in the cradle with a Lithium Ion battery installed
does not damage the battery.
The Lithium Ion battery does not charge when the terminal is placed in a cradle. Use the
cradle for communications and as a place holder for the terminal when a lithium Ion battery
is installed.
To charge the Lithium Ion battery p/n 21-40340-01, remove the battery from the terminal
and charge in a UBC 2000 battery adapter p/n 21-32665-24. Refer to the UBC 2000 Quick
Reference Guide for more information.
Cleaning
The PDT 6800 Series terminals require a minimum amount of maintenance. However, keep
the terminal clean to avoid problems and prolong the terminal’s life.
Before doing any maintenance or cleaning, power the terminal off.
