Chapter 3: Get To Know The Ikôn
Charging The Battery
38 Ikôn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6.1) User Manual
Keep in mind also that, along with the battery, the Ikôn is equipped with internal, super-
capacitors that preserves data stored on the Ikôn for a short period of time while the battery
is swapped.
3.2.4.1 Chargers And Docking Stations
Lithium-Ion battery packs must be charged before use. These batteries can be charged with a
variety of chargers and docking stations. These include:
• AC wall adaptor (Model No. PS1050 - G1) operates as an AC power source and when
plugged in, also charges the battery installed in the Ikôn. (see page 262)
• Desktop Docking Station (Model No. CH4000) operates as both a charger and a
docking station. Operating as a charger, both the battery installed in the Ikôn and a spare
battery can be charged simultaneously. (see page 254)
• Quad Docking Station (Model No. CH4004) can charge the battery of up to four Ikôns
inserted in the docking station. (see page 259)
Note: Do not leave a spare battery to charge for more than 72 hours. Charging for more
than 72 hours may damage the battery or lead to charge capacity reduction.
Important: If the battery is overheated (>60° C) or if the battery capacity is very low
(<100 mAh), the unit will not switch on when the Power button is pressed.
Under the above conditions, when AC power is applied, the Ikôn will still
refuse to power up; instead, a yellow LED will begin blinking and until the
battery is replaced, or in the case of low battery capacity, the battery is
charged to an acceptable level, the Ikôn will not switch on.
Important: FOR DETAILED INFORMATION about chargers and docking stations,
refer to Chapter 7: “Peripheral Devices & Accessories” beginning on
page 241.
Note: Refer to “Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time” on page 48 for addi-
tional information about the battery.
Important: To avoid damaging the battery, chargers will not begin the charge process
until the battery temperature is between 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
