Charging the Mobile Computer Battery
Charging the Main Battery and Memory Backup Battery
Before using the mobile computer for the first time, charge the main battery in the mobile computer for 24 hours, using a cradle or by
connecting the power supply to the Cable Adapter Module (CAM).
To ensure the quickest charging time, turn the mobile computer off while charging.
The mobile computer is equipped with a memory backup battery which automatically charges from the fully-charged lithium-ion
battery. This backup battery retains data in memory when the mobile computer’s battery is removed. When first using the mobile
computer, it takes about 24 hours to charge the backup battery from the main battery.
Removing the lithium-ion battery before the backup battery is fully charged risks data loss. DO NOT remove
the battery within the first 24 hours of use.
Using the Single Slot Cradle
1. Connect the cradle to a power source. Refer to the MC50 Integrator Guide for more information on setting up the Single Slot
Cradle.
2. Insert the mobile computer into the cradle to begin charging.
Figure 1-3. Charging in the Single Slot Serial Cradle
The main battery can be charged using the USB connection to a host computer without a power supply. The
mobile computer must be on when charging through the USB connection.
The standard battery fully charges in approximately 3.5 hours and the extended capacity battery fully charges in approximately seven
hours.
