Charging the Battery
CAUTION
Ensure that you follow the guidelines for battery safety described in Battery Safety Guidelines on page 7-2.
Charging the Main Battery and Memory Backup Battery
Before using the MC55 for the first time, charge the main battery until the amber Charging/Battery Status LED
remains lit (see Table 1-2 on page 1-8 for charge status indications). To charge the MC55, use a cable or a cradle
with the appropriate power supply. For information about the accessories available for the MC55, see Chapter 6,
Accessories.
The MC55 is equipped with a memory backup battery which automatically charges from the fully-charged main
battery. When using the MC55 for the first time, the backup battery requires approximately 24 hours to fully charge.
This is also true any time the backup battery is discharged, which occurs when the main battery is removed for
1-8
MC55 User Guide
several hours. The backup battery retains RAM data in memory for at least 15 minutes (at room temperature) when
the MC55's main battery is removed. When the MC55 reaches a very low battery state, the combination of main
battery and backup battery retains RAM data in memory for at least 48 hours.
To charge the main battery, use either a charging cable or a cradle. For cable and cradle setup and charging
procedures refer to the MC55 Integrator Guide.
• Single Slot USB/Serial Cradle
• Four Slot Charge Only Cradle
• Vehicle Cradle.
To charge the main battery:
Connect the charging accessory to the appropriate power source.
2.
Insert the MC55 into a cradle or attach to a cable. The MC55 begins charging. The Charging/Battery Status
LED blinks amber while charging, then turns solid amber when fully charged. See Table 1-2 for charging
indications.

To accomplish this, for small periods of time, the MC55 or accessory alternately enables and disables battery
charging to keep the battery at acceptable temperatures. The MC55 or accessory indicates when charging is
disabled due to abnormal temperatures via its LED. See Table 1-2.
Powering On the MC55
Press the Power button to turn on the MC55. If the MC55 does not power on perform a warm boot. See Resetting
the MC55 on page 2-13.
NOTE

its flash file system, then the calibration window appears. Note that these windows also appear upon cold boot.
When the MC55 powers up after inserting a battery for the first time, the device boots and powers on
automatically.
