Charging Spare Batteries
See the Accessories section for information on using accessories to charge spare batteries.
Hot Swap Mode
The device provides a Hot Swap mode where the user can replace the battery without powering off the device.
When the user removes the battery, the display turns off and the device enters a low power state while in Hot
Swap mode. In Hot Swap mode, the device retains RAM data for approximately 5 minutes. Replace the battery
within 5 minutes to preserve memory persistence. If the user does not install a charged battery within 5
minutes, data in RAM will be lost. During Hot Swap mode, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth remain connected for 30
seconds. If the battery is not inserted within 30 seconds, Wi-Fi is disabled and then re-enabled when the
device comes out of Hot Swap mode and Bluetooth is reset when the device comes out of Hot Swap mode.
IMPORTANT: The supercap requires time to recharge after performing a Hot Swap or after the main
battery is fully depleted. Hot Swap mode will not retain data unless the supercap is fully charged.
Zebra Visibility Services
The device captures and provides device analytics to a system administrator. The first time the device boots
(or after a Factory reset), the Zebra Services agreement screen displays.
