Recharging the battery
The charging cradle contained in your package is used to recharge
the NiMH battery that powers the handheld.
1. Plug the supplied AC adapter into a power source.
2. Place the handheld in the charging cradle so that the
handheld’s serial port is securely connected to the charging
cradle. When the charging cradle and handheld are connected
and the charging cradle is plugged in to a power source, the
green LED on the cradle will be solid for a period of time, in
which the cradle is detecting and testing the battery. The
charging cradle then begins a charging cycle.
3. The green LED on the charging cradle will flash continually
and the battery power indicator on the handheld’s Home
screen will be replaced with the charging indicator to show that
the battery is being charged.
4. When charging is complete, the green LED returns to a solid
green light. If the green LED turns off at any point during the
charging cycle, there may be a problem with the battery, the
charging cradle, or any of the connections, (e.g. the AC adapter,
the handheld.) A complete charging cycle may take as long as 8
hours but it will typically take less time to fully recharge the
battery.
5. To release the handheld from the charging cradle, brace the
bottom of the charging cradle with your thumb and gently pull
the top of the handheld towards you.
