The internal logic of the smart battery prevents both overcharging and undercharging (a fault condition in which the battery level goes well below the minimum acceptable charge and the battery becomes unusable). VNF CAUTION Note that a new Li-ion battery’s full performance is achieved only after two or three complete charge and discharge cycles. On initial use, allow the Omni 5xxx smart battery to charge 24 hours, then fully discharge during normal operation, to ensure reliable battery operation. The following are features of the smart battery: Two Li-ion cells • A fuel gauge module • NOTE • • monitors state of charge (voltage and current), • communicates with the terminal (charge parameters and alarms to indicate full discharge), • determines full charge capacity (on charge cycle and uninterrupted discharge cycle), and • automatically shuts down when cell voltage is extremely low. A safety circuit • prevents cell damage from overcharge/over-discharge, • activates when the battery is left in an unused terminal for extended periods, and • resets when battery voltage reaches a preset threshold during the charge cycle. Conserve battery power by turning the Omni 5xxx terminal off when not in use. If the terminal is not to be used for several days, remove the battery from the terminal as it continues to discharge even when the terminal is turned off. OMNI 5XXX INSTALLATION GUIDE 23 TERMINAL S ETUP Smart Battery Refer to Spare Smart Battery Pack for smart battery instructions for the Omni 5xxx terminal on the Omni 5xxx terminal. NOTE Smart Battery Installation The smart battery pack must be installed and holding a minimum of a 1% charge to operate the Omni 5xxx terminal. The smart battery installs in a slot on the back of the terminal, as shown in Figure 15. The locking tab clicks when the battery is in place. The slot is keyed, so that there is only one way to insert the battery. VNF Figure 15 Install the Smart Battery Smart Battery Removal To remove the smart battery, press the locking tab at the top of the battery and pull the smart battery from its slot. Smart Battery Charging On initial use, the smart battery must be fully charged and fully discharged through normal operation. After unpacking your Omni 5xxx terminal, install the battery and connect the power pack to the unit for 24 hours. Disconnect the power pack and allow your Omni 5xxx terminal to remain on until the smart battery completely discharges. Reconnect the power pack to the unit and allow the smart battery to recharge a maximum of 24 hours. It is also recommended that the smart battery receive a periodic full discharge. To ensure a full discharge, use the unit until the battery is fully drained. To determine the charge state of the battery, push the “test button” icon (shown in Figure 16) on the bottom of the battery. The bar LED status indicators on the battery each indicate 25% of the charge state. When the battery charge state reaches 10%, the • LED (Figure 16) blinks, indicating a low-charge state. The battery charge state displays at the bottom of the first copyright screen when the terminal is turned on. NOTE 24 Conserve battery power by turning the Omni 5xxx terminal off when not in use. If the terminal is not to be used for several days, remove the battery from the terminal as it continues to discharge even when the terminal is turned off. OMNI 5XXX INSTALLATION GUIDE TERMINAL S ETUP Install/Replace SIM Card (GSM models) The smart battery has a safety circuit to protect the Li-ion cells from overcharging and over-discharging. If the battery is over-discharged, the safety circuit shuts down the battery and none of the indicator LEDs (see Figure 16) on the battery pack blink. The battery must then be recharged to restore operation. NOTE The Omni 5xxx terminal automatically shuts off when the smart battery reaches the critically low charge state. If this occurs, the smart battery must recharge a minimum of 1/2 hour before it can power the terminal. It make take several recharge attempts to reset the safety circuit when charging a smart battery that has reached a critically low charge state. If the Omni 5xxx terminal is already running an application (for example, SoftPay), a battery status indicator may appear on the display. VNF BATTERY CHARGE STATE TEST BUTTON AND STATUS INDICATOR LEDS Figure 16 Smart Battery Life Smart Battery Charge Indicator LEDs and Test Button To ensure that you get the longest possible performance from the smart battery, it must be allowed to fully discharge periodically. The smart battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but will eventually wear out. When operating times are noticeably shorter than usual, it is time to buy a new battery (see Accessories and Documentation for ordering information). WARNING Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
