7.5 Desktop Docking Station – Model No. CH4000
The CH4000 desktop docking station is a desktop model designed to:
• Fast charge the internal battery.
• Fast charge the spare battery pack (see Figure 7.3 on page 255)
• Supply Type A and Type B USB connectivity to the Ikôn (see Figure 7.4 on page 257).
The CH4000 storage temperature is -30° C to +60° C (-22° F to 140° F). Operating temper-
ature and humidity are: 5 - 95% non-condensing and 0° C to 40°C (32° F to 104° F).
The desktop docking station provides sufficient power to concurrently support all the above
functions. The CH4000 uses careful charge algorithms designed to maximize battery life
while ensuring the shortest possible charge time. The charger supports proprietary Psion
Teklogix Smart Batteries and handles a range of voltages and charge algorithms. See “The
Battery” on page 36 for battery capacity, charge times and battery life for the Ikôn battery.
See “Charging A Spare Battery” on page 256 for spare battery charge information.
Important: The CH4000 desktop docking station is shipped with its own user manual. It
is critical that it be reviewed for additional information and updates.
Note: To preserve battery integrity, the desktop docking station will proceed with a charge
only when the battery temperature falls between 0° C and 40° C (32° F to 104° F).
