2 BATTERIES AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE
Rechargeable backup batteries and battery packs are not
initially charged. Therefore the initial operation to perform is
to charge them. See below.
CAUTION
By default, the battery pack is disconnected at the factory to
avoid damage due to excessive draining.
Annual replacement of rechargeable battery pack avoids
possible risks or abnormalities and ensures maximum
performance.
2.1 CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
NOTE
The battery pack autonomy varies according to many factors,
such as the frequency of barcode scanning, RF usage, battery
life, storage, environmental conditions, etc.
The battery icon on the Taskbar indicates when the battery pack is low.
It is possible to recharge the battery pack by connecting the power supply
directly to the Elf.
Alternatively, it is also possible to recharge the battery pack by using the single
slot dock, the powered mobile dock, the Ethernet four slot dock or the four slot
battery charger.
Moreover recharging is possible by USB Direct connection with the host
computer, but with longer charging times and only if the mobile computer is off.
During the charging process the LED positioned at the left side of the display is
red constant. Once the charging process has been completed this LED is green
constant (see par. 4.5).
If the battery pack is removed from the mobile computer, it can be recharged by
inserting it into the rear slot of the single slot dock, the powered mobile dock,
the Ethernet four slot dock or the four slot battery charger.
CAUTION
Do not use the Elf until batteries are charged for minimum 4
hours.
