This cable contains a plug adapter for each geography (US, UK, EU, etc.). 1. Attach the appropriate plug adapter to the power adapter. 2. Plug the power cable into the power source. 3. Plug the connector into the DC power jack on the back panel. The base is now powered. When a terminal is properly seated, the base powers the terminal, charges the terminal’s main battery pack, and launches ActiveSync (see ActiveSync Communication on pa paragraph 10.4). Pointmobile recommends that you leave the base connected to its power source at all times, so that it is always ready to use. 12.7. Charging the Battery The base powers the terminal and fully charges the battery pack in 5or 8 hours depending on the battery. 59 As battery packs charge, the charging circuitry follows the two two-step step charging process (CC (CC-CV) that is recommended for Li-Ion Ion batteries. The process monitors changes in temperature, current, and voltage. The battery can be inserted in the battery charging well in back of the terminal connection. Angle the battery as shown. Once the connectors engage, the LED lights. If the LED is red, the unit is charging; if it is green, the charge is complete WARNING: Do not short-circuit circuit between each contact o off the cradle. It may cause fire fire. 12.8.
