the battery will complete charging in approximately three hours.
The AC Adapter is intended for in-house, climate controlled use
and should not be used in extreme conditions.
Stand Alone Battery Charger
The Stand Alone Battery Charger is an optional charging device
used to charge a Lithium Ion battery. This charger allows you to
charge an additional T5200 battery for the mobile computer. The
operating temperature for this device is 0º to +50º Celsius (+32º to
+122º Fahrenheit). Operating the Stand Alone Battery Charger
outside of this temperature range may damage the battery.
To charge a battery
1. Insert the appropriate end of the power cord into the power
port on the Stand Alone Battery Charger, then insert the other
end of the power cord into an electrical wall outlet, the AC
Adapter or the Vehicle Adapter.
2. Align the connectors and place the battery onto the charger.
The charger automatically begins charging the battery. At
moderate temperatures, around 70º Fahrenheit (21° C), the
battery will complete charging in approximately three hours.
Under extremely cold or hot temperatures, however, the battery
will not charge.
CAUTION
•There are no user-replaceable parts within the Stand

also can be developed. Contact your company’s help desk for a
description of key functions if you have a custom keyboard.
The keyboard for the T5200 computer is a fully sealed, 75-key
QWERTY keyboard. It includes a numeric keypad for entering or
dialing numbers. When a key is pressed, a click provides audio
feedback. See “Customizing Keyboard Settings” later in this
section to change this setting.

Keyboard Tips
The SHIFT key is used in combination with other keys on the
keyboard to perform special functions. The shift key has been
designed as “sticky” key for convenient one-handed opera-
tion. Pressing the key once is the same as holding it down
until a second key is pressed.
For example, pressing SHIFT+A5 dims the display. With one
hand you can press SHIFT, release it, and then press A5. The
SHIFT key remains pressed until the second key is pressed.
When the sticky key is enabled, the icon appears in the tray
area of the screen.
