The HC50 with True Hot Swap allows you to replace the battery without turning off the device.
True Hot Swap applies to HC50 devices only.
To perform a True Hot Swap:
If a hand strap is attached, remove the hand strap.
Press the two latches down.
Do not attempt to insert fingers under the latches when pulling on the battery. Damage to the latches may occur.
While pressing the latches down, press the two latches in toward the center of the device. The latches must be pressed in completely to release the battery.
Lift the battery from the device.
A countdown timer displays on the screen, and the device remains fully functional.
If the battery is not replaced before the timer expires, the device display turns off, and the device shuts down.
Insert the replacement battery, bottom first, into the battery compartment at the back of the device.
Press the battery down until the battery release latches snap into place.
If the device does not automatically turn on, press and hold the power button to reboot the device.
