• The lifespan of a Li-ion battery is around 2 to 3 years, the battery capacity will be lower after circularly charged about 300 times. (One full battery charge period means completely charged and completely discharged.)
• If a battery is stored or otherwise unused for an extended period, be sure to follow the storage instructions in this document.
• If the IPDA088 fails to power up or charge, the battery is usually faulty, please contact our team of professional technical engineers we will provide you with a replacement battery for testing and use. (Refer to section 5.0)

TIP: Please slide the latch tightly after inserting the battery, if the latch is not tightened, the PDA will not turn on. While charging, the device and the charger may become hot and stop charging. This usually does not affect the device’s lifespan or performance and is in the device’s normal range of operation. For more solutions to battery woes, refer to Troubleshooting.

2.4. Charging the Device

• The charger type is GME10D-050200FGu, output voltage/current is 5V DC/2A. The plug is considered as a disconnect device of the adapter.
