Once the battery is fully charged (approximately four hours), you can
disconnect the power supply and run the RFID ICODE handheld
interface exclusively on battery power.

IMPORTANT

Because the internal battery charger senses several conditions,
including temperature, you should charge the unit away from any
known, or potential, heat sources. Units exposed to temperatures in
excess of 110 °F (43.3 °C) during the charge cycle may experience
incomplete charging and reduced operating time per charge.
