Shelf mode: charging the device for the first time
The Ranger 5 data collector ships in a low power Shelf mode to conserve power. While in Shelf mode,
the device will only turn on when a charging source is connected. Once the device is plugged into a
charging source and powered on, it is taken out of Shelf mode.
The internal battery is charged using the USB-C port directly on the bottom of the device. It takes
approximately 3.5 hours to fully charge the device's internal batteries from an empty state using the AC
adapter and USB-C to USB-C cable included in the packout.
1.
Connect the appropriate international plug adapter for your region to the AC adapter.
2.
Connect one end of the USB-C to USB-C cable to the USB-C port located on the AC adaptor.
3.
Connect the other end of the USB-C cable to the USB-C port on the Ranger 5 data collector.
4.
Plug the power supply into an electrical outlet and charge for 3.5 hours.
NOTE –
It may take longer to charge the batteries if you use third party AC adapters.
