Battery Charging
The communication/charge cables can charge the EDA battery and supply operating power.
To charge the EDA battery:
1. Connect the communication/charge cable power input connector to the Symbol approved power source.
2. Slide the bottom of the EDA into the connector end of the communication/charge cable and gently press in
until it latches into the EDA. The EDA amber Charge LED indicates the EDA battery charging status. The
standard battery charges in less than four hours and the extended capacity battery charges in less than six
hours. See
Table 1-2 on page 1-6 for charging status indications.
3. When charging completes, remove the cable by gently pulling the EDA and the cable apart.
LED Charge Indications
The amber Charge LED on the EDA indicates battery charging status. See Table 1-2 on page 1-6 for charging
status indications.
Charging Temperature
Charge batteries in temperatures from 0
o
C to 40
o
C (32°F to 104°F). Note that at temperatures above 35
o
C,
charging is intelligently controlled by the EDA in order to ensure safe operation and optimize long-term battery
life.
To accomplish this, for small periods of time, the EDA alternately enables and disables battery charging to
keep the battery at acceptable temperatures. The EDA indicates when charging is disabled due to abnormal
temperatures via its LED. See
Table 1-2 on page 1-6 .
Communication Setup
To connect an EDA communication/charge cable to a serial or USB device:
1. Connect the serial/USB end of the EDA communication/charge cable to the communication port of the
device.
2. Connect the EDA connector end of the cable to the EDA. For more information on communication setup
procedures, see
Chapter 3, ActiveSync .
