BATTERIES AND MAINTENANCE

Annual replacement of rechargeable battery pack avoids
possible risks or abnormalities and ensures maximum
performance.
2.1
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
NOTE
The battery pack autonomy varies according to many factors,
such as the frequency of barcode scanning, RF usage, battery
life, storage, environmental conditions, etc.
The battery icon on the Taskbar indicates when the battery pack is low.
It is possible to recharge the battery pack by using a Single Cradle or the Falcon
X3™ Multi Battery Charger.
Moreover recharging is possible by USB Direct connection with the host
computer, but with longer charging times and only if the mobile computer is off.
During the charging process the LED positioned at the left side of the display is
constant red. Once the charging process has been completed this LED is
constant green (see par. 4.5).
If the battery pack is removed from the mobile computer, it can be recharged by
inserting it into the rear slot of a Single Cradle or the Falcon X3™ Multi Battery
Charger.
CAUTION
Do not use the Falcon X3™ until batteries are charged for
minimum 4 hours.
