Charging the Battery

To recharge the battery, it must be placed on a Mobile 8200 base. The Mobile 8200 has two bases that can charge the battery:

• the communications base

• the charge-only base

Note:  The base must be powered up in order to charge the battery (i.e. the green Power Indicator light on the base must be lit up).

To charge the battery:

IMPORTANT:  When charging a battery for the first time, it must be attached to a handheld terminal, which must be left on the base for a minimum of 3 hours.

Place the battery on a base, ensuring that the contacts on the battery are touching the contacts on the base.

• The battery should be placed on the base ONLY when it is attached to a terminal.

• The battery will re-charge only if it is not fully charged.

• The battery will re-charge only when the terminal is not in use.

• The battery charge status icon will appear on the terminal display while the handheld terminal is on the communications base and the battery is charged.

• The battery charge level icon will appear on the terminal display while the battery is charged.

Note: The first 3 times the NiMH battery is used, allow it to fully discharge and then charge it to its full capacity.  Full charging time after the first time is 2 hours.

Note: The first time the Li-ion battery is used, allow it to charge to its full capacity.  Full charging time is 4 hours.
