Charging the TC72/TC77

NOTE: Ensure that you follow the guidelines for battery safety described in the device User Guide.

1. Insert the device into the charging slot or connect the USB Charge cable to the device.
2. Ensure the device is seated properly

The Notification/Charge LED lights amber while charging, then turns solid green when fully charged. See Table 2 for charging indicators.

The 4,620 mAh battery fully charges in less than five hours at room temperature.

Table 2 Charging/Notification LED Charging Indicators

cradle or connected to a power source. Charger/cradle is not powered.
Slow Blinking Amber (1 blink every 4 seconds)| The device is charging.
Solid Green| Charging complete.
Fast Blinking Amber (2 blinks/second)| Charging error, e.g.: Temperature is too low or too high.
Charging has gone on too long without completion (typically eight hours).
Slow Blinking Red (1 blink every 4 seconds)| The device is charging but the battery is at end of useful life.
Solid Red| Charging complete but the battery is at end of useful life.
Fast Blinking Red (2 blinks/second)| Charging error but the battery is at end of useful life., e.g.: Temperature is too low or too high.
Charging has gone on too long without completion (typically eight hours).

Charging the Spare Battery

1. Insert a spare battery into the spare battery slot.
2. Ensure the battery is seated properly.
   The Spare Battery Charging LED blinks indicating charging. See Table 3 for charging indicators.

The 4,620 mAh battery fully charges in less than five hours at room temperature.

Table 3 Spare Battery Charging LED Indicators

cradle or connected to a power source. Cradle is not powered.
Solid Amber| Battery is charging.
Solid Green| Battery charging is complete.
Fast Blinking Red (2 blinks/second)| Charging error, e.g.:

• Temperature is too low or too high.
• Charging has gone on too long without completion (typically eight hours).

Solid Red| Unhealthy battery is charging or fully charged.

Charge batteries in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). The device or cradle always performs battery charging in a safe and intelligent manner. At higher temperatures (e.g. approximately +37°C (+98°F)) the device or cradle may for small periods of time alternately enable and disable battery charging to keep the battery at acceptable temperatures. The device and cradle indicates when charging is disabled due to abnormal temperatures via its LED.

Imager Scanning

To read a bar code, a scan-enabled application is required. The device contains the DataWedge application that allows the user to enable the imager, decode the bar code data and display the bar code content.

1. Ensure that an application is open on the device and a text field is in focus (text cursor in text field).

2. Point the exit window on the top of the device at a bar code.
   Figure 25 Imager Scanning
   

3. Press and hold the scan button
   The red laser aiming pattern turns on to assist in aiming.
   NOTE: When the device is in Picklist mode, the imager does not decode the bar code until the crosshair or aiming dot touches the bar code.

4. Ensure the bar code is within the area formed by the crosshairs in the aiming pattern. The aiming dot is used for increased visibility in bright lighting conditions.
   Figure 26 Aiming Pattern
   
   

5. The Data Capture LED lights green and a beep sounds, by default, to indicate the bar code was decoded successfully.

6. Release the scan button. The bar code content data displays in the text field.

NOTE : Imager decoding usually occurs instantaneously. The device repeats the steps required to take a digital picture (image) of a poor or difficult bar code as long as the scan button remains pressed.
