About the Battery

The mobile computer ships with a 3.8 VDC, 17.1 watt-hour Li-ion battery manufactured for Honeywell International Inc.
Before you attempt to use, charge or replace the battery in the device, carefully read all labels, markings, and product documentation provided in the box or online at sps.honeywell.com. To learn more about Battery Maintenance for Portable Devices, go to honeywell.com/PSS- BatteryMaintenance.

We recommend the use of Honeywell Li-ion battery packs. Use of any non- Honeywell battery may result in damage not covered by the warranty.
Ensure all components are dry prior to placing the battery in the computer. Mating wet components may cause damage not covered by the warranty.

Install Battery

Install the Hand Strap

Charge the Mobile Computer

The mobile computer ships with a partially charged battery.
Charge the battery with an EDA56 charging device for a minimum of 3.5 hours.
Note: Using the computer while charging the battery increases the time required to reach a full charge. If the mobile computer is drawing more current than supplied by the charging source, charging will not take place.
We recommend the use of Honeywell accessories and power adapters. Use of any non-Honeywell accessories or power adapters may cause damage not covered by the warranty.

EDA56 series mobile computers are designed for use with EDA52 charging accessories. For more information, see the EDA52 Series Accessory Guide available for download at sps.honeywell.com.

Ensure all components are dry prior to mating the computers and batteries with peripheral devices.
Mating wet components may cause damage not covered by the warranty.

About the USB Type C Connector
On EDA56 models equipped with a USB port, you can use a USB cable to charge the mobile computer from a host device (e.g., laptop or desktop computer). The connected host device must supply minimum power output of 5V, 0.5A to the EDA56 or the battery will not charge.
Turn Power On/Off
The first time you power on the computer, a Welcome screen appears. You can either scan a configuration barcode or use the Wizard to manually set up the computer. Once setup is complete, the Welcome screen no longer appears on startup, and Provisioning mode is automatically turned off (disabled).
