Charging the Device

To achieve optimal charging results, use only Zebra charging accessories and batteries. Charge batteries at room temperature with the device in sleep mode.

A standard battery charges from fully depleted to 90% in approximately 2 hours and from fully depleted to 100% in approximately 3 hours. In many cases, a 90% charge provides enough charge for daily use. Depending on the usage profile, a full 100% charge may last for approximately 14 hours of use.

The device or accessory always performs battery charging in a safe and intelligent manner and indicates when charging is disabled due to abnormal temperatures via its LED, and a notification appears on the device display.

Temperature	Battery Charging Behavior
20 to 45°C (68 to 113°F)	Optimal charging range.
0 to 20°C (32 to 68°F) / 45 to 50°C (113 to 122°F)	Charging slows to optimize the JEITA requirements of the cell.
Below 0°C (32°F) / Above 50°C (122°F)	Charging stops.
Above 55°C (131°F)	The device shuts down.

To charge the main battery:

Connect the charging accessory to the appropriate power source.

Insert the device into a cradle or attach to a power cable (minimum 9 volts / 2 amps).

The device turns on and begins charging. The Charging/Notification LED blinks amber while charging, then turns solid green when fully charged.
