Inserting and removing the main battery

Charging the BHT

The main battery may not be fully charged for shipment. Please charge the main battery to full before using the handy terminal. You may use the Charging Cradle or USB cable to charge the handy terminal.
3.3.1 Charging Time Main battery
The main battery powers the handy terminal to work. It takes approximately 2.1 hours to charge an empty 3050 mAh battery to full. The status indicator above the screen will light up in red while charging and will turn blue when charging is complete.
Sub-battery The sub-battery is mounted on the circuit board and used for retaining data when the main battery is replaced or when it is removed. It may take approximately ten minutes to fully charge an empty sub-battery after installing the main one. Do not remove the battery until the charge is completed so as to retain data properly.
3.3.2 Charging Temperature
Charging the battery at room temperature (18 – 25°C) is recommended in order to deliver optimal performance. Please note that battery charging stops when the ambient temperature drops below 0°C or exceeds 40°C. The temperature to stop charging may vary according to the practical operating environment.
3.3.3 Operation on Battery Power When 802.11a/b/g/n/ac
 GSM/GPRS/EDGE/WCDMA/UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA/HSPA+/LTE, Bluetooth v5.1&v2.1+EDR and GPS are all enabled on battery power, the main battery level will drop down substantially. Prolonged use of the display and continued scanning of barcodes will also affect battery level. In order to avoid the unexpected system shutting down when the battery level is low, we suggest that you keep a fresh battery for replacement at all times, or connect the BHT to external power.
Remove the battery from the BHT or the Cradle then store in a cool and dry place if not using the BHT for an extended period of time. Storing a fully charged or depleted (unable to turn on the BHT) battery for long periods of time may deteriorate the performance and life of the battery. For long-term storage, storing the battery at 50% of the power level is recommended. During long-term storage, charge the battery cartridge fully once a year in order to maintain the battery performance. When fully charged, allow the battery to discharge down to the recommended level before restoring. The battery may swell over the years depending on the usage environment. This is a characteristic of a lithium-ion battery and is no a safety hazard.
3.3.4 Charging Status of the BHT
The Charge status of the BHT is shown on the status indicator above the display screen.

3.3.5 Using the USB Cable

1. Connect the USB Type-C connector to the connector at the bottom of the BHT.
2. Connect the USB Type-A connector to the USB power adapter.

3.3.6 Using the Charging Cradle
Plugging in the cradle
Connect the dedicated power adapter, the USB cable, and/or USB power adapter to the cradle. Plugin the AC plug or the AC adapter.
The right figure is for when the CU-M70U is plugged in using the power adapter.
The right figure is for when the CU-M70UQ is connected using the USB cable and USB power adapter.

Power Supply for CU-M70U/L
Use ONLY a DNWA approved Nationally Recognized Test Laboratory (NRTL) Certified ITE (LPS/SELV) power supply with electrical ratings: Output 12 VDC, min 4.16 A, with a maximum ambient temperature of at least + 40°C. The use of an alternative power supply will invalidate any approvals given to this unit and may be dangerous.
Power Supply for CU-M70UQ
Use ONLY a DNWA approved Nationally Recognized Test Laboratory (NRTL) Certified ITE (LPS/SELV) power supply with electrical ratings: Output 5 VDC, min 3 A, with a maximum ambient temperature of at least + 40°C. The use of an alternative power supply will invalidate any approvals given to this unit and may be dangerous.
Charging BHT
Set the BHT in the cradle upright and gently tilt it away from you.

Note: When placing the BHT on the cradle, ensure there is no tangled strap between the device and the cradle. A specific part of the device may get warm while charging depending on the operating environment and conditions. This is not a malfunction. Removing the BHT from the Cradle
Tilt the BHT toward you and pull it out perpendicularly

Notice on the power connection of the charging cradle
As for CU-M70U with the USB interface, both a power adapter and USB cable can be used. When only the USB cable is used, the charging time could be longer under the condition where the BHT is operated even during charging. This may cause the charging status error, and thus, use of the power adapter is recommended. Using a deteriorated battery may also cause a charging error. In this case, replace that battery with a new one.
