When the battery charging LED is red, the battery is charging. When the battery charge LED is
green the battery is fully charged. A fully discharged battery takes about 6 hours to completely
recharge.
Warning: The battery will discharge if the charger does not remain plugged in while the
M5900 terminal is in cradle or on the charger.
The M5900 Cradle’s Communication Ports
The M5900 portable data terminal has 2 different styles of communications ports, RS-232 (RJ-
45) and USB (Type II). The M5900 Cradle also has 2 communications ports, RS-232 (DB-9) and
USB (Type II). The M5900 Communications Cradle uses a standard RS-232 (DB-9 Male – DB-9
Female) cable.
Both communication connectors on the back of the M5900 cradle are wired “straight through”.
This means that the communications settings on the M5900 portable data terminal will determine
the settings on the communication cradle. The M5900 Cradle has no internal or external settings
that can be changed.
