3.5 hours to charge to full by
the main battery or power adapter.
Charging Temperature
It is recommended to charge the battery
at room temperature (18°C to 25°C) for optimal
performance.
Battery charging stops when ambient temperature drops below 0°C or exceeds 40°C.
Operation on Battery Power
When 802.11b/g/n, GSM/GPRS/EDGE/WCDMA/UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA/HSPA+, Bluetooth v4.0
& v2.1+EDR and GPS are all enabled on battery power, the main battery level will drop down
substantially. Prolonged use of the display and continued scanning of barcodes will also affect
battery level.
In order to prevent system shut down
after the battery is drained out, we suggest that you
keep a fresh battery for replacement at all times,
or connect the mobile computer to an
external power.

BATTERY
Main Battery
The mobile computer is powered by a rechargeable 3.8V / 3000mAh Li-ion battery
pack, and it takes approximately 4 hours to charge it to full from the power adaptor.
However, the charging time may vary by your working condition.
Spare Battery
A spare battery pack is provided as an accessory. We recommend keeping a fully
charged spare battery at hand in order to replace the main battery when it is nearly
drained out.
Backup Battery
Settled on the main board is a backup battery that keeps the mobile computer in
suspension when the main battery is depleted. The backup battery is a 60 mAh
rechargeable Li-ion battery, and can retain data in the DRAM for 30 minutes when it
is fully charged (as long as wireless modules on the mobile computer are inactive).
The backup battery can be charged by the main battery or the power adapter, and
takes approximately 3.5 hours to charge to full.
Warning:
(1) The battery cover must be secured in position. If not, the mobile computer cannot
turn on by pressing the power key.
(2) For a new battery, make sure it is fully charged before using.
(3) To avoid data loss, when replacing the main battery, make sure you replace it with
a well-charged spare battery pack. Always prepare a spare battery at hand,
especially when you are on the road.
(4) When the mobile computer has been on backup battery for 30 minutes, the
system will shut down. Be sure to replace the main battery as soon as possible in
order to avoid data loss.

HEARING AID COMPATIBILITY HAC FOR WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS
DEVICES
WHAT IS HEARING AID COMPATIBILITY?
The Federal Communications Commission has implemented rules and a rating system
designed to enable people who wear hearing aids to more effectively use these wireless
telecommunications devices. The standard for compatibility of digital wireless phones
with hearing aids is set forth in American National Standard Institute (ANSI) standard
C63.19. There are two sets of ANSI standards with ratings from one to four (four being
the best rating): an “M” rating for reduced interference making it easier to hear
conversations on the phone when using the hearing aid microphone, and a “T” rating
that enables the phone to be used with hearing aids operating in the telecoil mode thus
reducing unwanted background noise.
HOW WILL I KNOW WHICH WIRELESS PHONES ARE HEARING AID COMPATIBLE?
The Hearing Aid Compatibility rating is displayed on the wireless phone box.
A phone is considered Hearing Aid Compatible for acoustic coupling (microphone mode)
if it has an “M3” or “M4” rating. A digital wireless phone is considered Hearing Aid
Compatible for inductive coupling (telecoil mode) if it has a “T3” or “T4” rating.
HOW WILL I KNOW IF MY HEARING AID WILL WORK WITH A PARTICULAR DIGITAL
WIRELESS PHONE?
You’ll want to try a number of wireless phones so that you can decide which works the
best with your hearing aids. You may also want to talk with your hearing aid
professional about the extent to which your hearing aids are immune to interference, if
they have wireless phone shielding, and whether your hearing aid has a HAC rating.
To determine the compatibility of a WD and a particular hearing aid, simply add the
numerical part of the hearing aid category (e.g. M2/T2=2) with the numerical part of
the WD emission rating (e.g., M3=3) to arrive at the system classification for this
particular combination of WD and hearing aid. A sum of 5 would indicate that the WD
and hearing aid would provide normal use, and a sum of 6 or greater would indicate
that the WD and hearing aid would provide excellent performance. A category sum of
less than 4 would likely result in a performance that is judged unacceptable by the
hearing aid user.
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless
technologies that it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless technologies
used in this phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is
important to try the different features of this phone thoroughly and in different
locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any
interfering noise. Consult your service provider or the manufacturer of this phone for
information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions about return or
exchange policies, consult your service
THIS PHONE HAS A HAC RATING OF M3/T3
