Before using the RFD4031 for the first time, fully charge the battery by placing it in the charging cradle until the LED Power/Charging indicator turns solid green. The RFD40 RFID sled and mobile computer may be charged in the charging cradle individually or attached together.
When an RFD4031 RFID sled is removed from a charging cradle, it is automatically powered on. If a reader is not used for a duration of thirty minutes, the reader enters Off mode.
The Charge Terminal parameter must be enabled to charge the mobile computer.
A 12V power supply must be connected to the power jack when charging the sled using the cable cup accessory.
The cradle does not charge the mobile computer if the battery is completely depleted or if it is not powered on.
